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.

I like both Punch Drunk Love and Eternal Sunshine.

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

That's what they want you to think.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Referring back to last week -- I finished Skidoo over the weekend. I still think it's a very strange movie. And I'm not sure how I feel about the first hour or so. But the last half hour is comedy gold.

I'm not sure when exactly it gets great. Probably when the LSD-tripping guards show up on the tower. By that point, the movie has developed an absurd chaos that's great fun if you just go with it.

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

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I liked "Spanglish" too, and "Funny people" Ok, I think I'm going to have to admit that I like Adam Sandler. But he didn't write "Spanglish" or "Funny People" so he acted like a grown-up in those.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I love Jack Black, but I have never seen him in a "Jack Black" movie. I liked his little part in High Fidelity, LOVED School of Rock, and adored him in The Holiday.

I think he has more charm and less general smarm than the other two, but that could be me.

I did like Jim Carrey as the pre-Riddler, and also in Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine.

I liked Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer.

I think the take home might be that I like romances more than comedies.
