I forgot how awesome Blake Edwards' Honorary Oscar acceptance was.
Nice entrance.
Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.

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.

Pure cinematic charisma: Romy Schneider's screen tests for Clouzot's unfinished L'Enfer.
I don't know another actress that has quite Romy's mix of beauty, warmth, wickedness, sensuality and play. But I'd like to see Cate Blanchett try.
I know I've mentioned it before, but Romy's on my short list of great under-appreciated beauties of the sixties along with Capucine and Charlotte Rampling. (All three of them having more than a whiff of decadence, I'd say.)

So Thor and Odin and Baldur and Loki and the Giants are all aliens? Is this from an iteration of the comics, or original to the movie?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Apparently they did it in the comics too. Where they also had an Asian Asgard, but nobody's whining about that too loudly.

Remember, the Marvel Asgardians are one of Kirby's early versions of what would become the DC New Gods, who are explicitly Sufficiently Advanced Aliens.

Is there an app that can excise Jim Carrey from that clip?

The Thing-inspired Xmas card: [link]
I've never seen The Thing, so I don't get it, but people who have seem to be digging this.

Now tagless for your comfort.
They called The Thing a "Space Carrot" since it was a plant-based life form. So that card is very funny!

So, having seen TRON: Legacy a second time......
Still a lot of fun. Characters look a little thinner(I didn't realize how much of a cipher Sam is the first time around). Still think Quorra could use some more agency. Picked up on some thematic stuff and character parallels I missed the first time around.
Still have no idea where the bitterly angry reviews are coming from.
