I'm not sure if I should be a bit hurt or not.
I think Tep was just responding to my presumptive tone, which was just poor phrasing on my part.
Wow. Daisy, all I meant was that I didn't get from your post what Hec did. Sorry.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Anne Hathaway totally has layers.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
No, it's cool, I can see that. I took it as amazing wasn't an opinion worth engaging, but I could be a bit sensitive lately.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I will add that Anne Hathaway is so good at playing a smart, self-destructive, brittle, charming, rege-filled addict that she literally WAS my late niece. Oddly enough, seeing her performance actually helped my brother with his grief--he said it made him see that Amy wasn't the only girl like this in the world, and that was an unexpected comfort.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
man, that's heavy, Scrappy.
Given Hathaway's real life romantic "troubles", I think she can pull from some depths to play whatever the hell she needs to. Her ex-fiance sounds like a piece of work who really screwed her (and others) over badly.

My friend and I watched "Scott Pilgrim vs The World" tonight and I really enjoyed it. I had read the graphic novels, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well it transferred to screen. I realize everyone else saw this movie ages ago, but I'm typically very late to these things. Good fun!!

OMFG I love this movie. Saw it on the big screen a few years ago, which was wonderful. Have the DVD, need the soundtrack.
ita, I keep being tempted to watch Bronson, but I'm worried it'll traumatized me or worse, ruin TH for me. See also, Hesher.

I totally agree with everyone who didn't like Jules and Jim. Just kind of a "meh" movie for me.
But has anyone else seen Two English Girls? Truffaut made that in the 70s and it was also about a love triangle (based on a book written by the same guy who wrote Jules and Jim) and I LOVE this movie. It has one of the best endings ever. So much better than Jules and Jim, not sexist, etc.
I love almost all the New Wave film makers, though. Even if I don't care for every film - each director has at least a few really good ones in their catalog.

Jules and Jim was a fictionalized autobiography (the book, not the movie). The 90 year son of the maniac-pixie girlfriend in that book has written a French bestseller that is kind of a fiery manifesto for center-left politics. [link]
Don't remember if I initially got this link here or not.
