Man, I loved the Hobbit actors. Especially Billy and Dom! And how they would take the piss out of long-winded, earnest Sean Astin in the commentaries!
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

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.

Tonight's DVD - The Kids Are All Right. I think this could have been a great movie if only it hadn't been trying SO HARD to hit all the "normal marriage" notes. I do understand the impetus - it would be unrealistic to take for granted that a mainstream audience would see this family as "normal" if it weren't hammered home in every scene. But for me, it was just overwritten enough that I wished I could have just been told the story without being also loudly informed of what a NORMAL EVERYDAY STORY it was.
Also, I don't see the appeal of Mark Ruffalo. Is this the same kind of attractiveness I don't get about Nathan Fillion?

Because books.
I like Mark Ruffalo sometimes, but sometimes he comes off sort of slimy/creepy to me, and I'm not sure why.
I liked him a lot in Shutter Island, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You and my mother!

I love Fillion, but don't get Ruffalo.

True Grit last night. So good! Such a late screening after a very large meal (T-Bones and many sides...it was an event T-Bones and True Grit) = VERY tired now.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I always thought Ryan Reynolds was the cute one on Two Guys etc. But since Firefly I find Fillion exceedingly hot. Mark Ruffalo comes off as more creepy to me.
I don't remember the night scenes in True Grit being too dark. I hope your theatre didn't have a bulb that needed to be changed, Jessica.

It was my next-door neighbor's living room - I'm sure it looked fine in theatres.
