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.

Casper was terrified by the Toy Story 3 scenes at the dump; Dillo completely oblivious. Casper also got very scared at the evil chase scenes in Up, which we watched last night for the first time in a while. She's gotten old enough that she gets dramatic tension, which she didn't until about age 6.

I was terrified by Big Baby. And of course I cry at the grownup crypoints.

Back in the 40's one to-be-famous radical would register for classes, read the books, show up only for tests, ace the tests and pass the classes. Spent the rest of his time doing labor organizing and partying. I don't know if it was indulgent teachers, or tests counted for more than attendance and essays. He graduated don't know if with honors.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

Where is Highlander II on that map? I can't find it. I hate unsearchable information, dammit.

So apparently, The Bad News Bears Go To Japan wasn't very good....

None of the films along the bottom left side were any good. It's just that TBNBGTJ was the worst compared to the original.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

They considered LotR: The Two Towers an improvement over the first movie?!?
