I saw the movie created to push all of my "like" buttons, The King's Speech, and it was AWESOME. Colin Firth = sexy oscarbait; Script = literate and involving, period details = heavenly.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The lack of caps was intentional. Never seen Glitter, plan to keep it that way. Burlesque was awesome in several ways. Dancing, singing, costumes, makeup, and sistas doing it for themselves. Plus, Tucci was delightful, Cher and Christina were divatastic, and Cam Gigandet was good enough eye candy for me.
Heh. Easy A disappointed me in that I'd heard he was supposed to be hot stuff and then when I saw for myself my reaction was "That's who all those people were lusting over? Why?"
However, I feel Jake Gyllenhaal has fulfilled my eye candy quota for the month of December, freeing me to watch movies without considering how attractive the stars therein may be.
As I said on Twitter, as much fun as Tron Legacy was, I understand now how most people feel about the Matrix sequels. I still think you're all crazy and wrongheaded, but I get now where the hate and eye-rolling come from.
I don't understand this because (a) only the second sequel sucked, and I think that was due to how they paced the movie and (b) the first TRON is nothing I find remotely sacred.
Christ, Lucas did more damage to the Star Wars legacy with JEDI than he did with the prequels in my opinion. One word: Ewoks. Jar Jar and the stupid pod race commentators wasn't that far a fall at that point.

The Ewoks did pay off in the long run though, by inspiring the Furlings reveal in the 200th episode of Stargate: SG-1.
And in a Wizard Magazine photo strip that had one of the staffers being chosen as Galactus' next herald.
Heh. Easy A disappointed me in that I'd heard he was supposed to be hot stuff and then when I saw for myself my reaction was "That's who all those people were lusting over? Why?"
Eyeliner. Tattoos. Nice body. Good enough.
The Ewoks did pay off in the long run though,
There's nothing the Ewoks can do to pay for their crimes in full.
the first TRON is nothing I find remotely sacred.
