Quote spoilery, too!
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

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.

Can't stand Anthony Lane. He's too busy getting the next zinger in to actually review a movie (TITANIC aside, which he adored - talk about a revealing precedent).

Review of Watchmen in the New Yorker
Yeah, that came up on my Google search last night. The movie's been getting mostly good reviews so far on RT; 22 positive and 5 negative (although some of the ones that fall under positive have pull quotes that aren't completely effluvious). I saw the first twenty minutes at WonderCon, and I think it's going to be good and interesting. It's hard to tell until I see the rest, obviously, but I don't think it's going to suck balls. I wasn't too afraid of that, really, but the footage did allay my fears that the trailers weren't representative of the movie.

Y'know, I'm getting more and more optimistic for this one.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
the end of the Salvation trailer straight up gave me the willies when I realized what I was looking at. Seriously, I did a kibby fit like I do when I'm surprised by large spiders. Also, the angle they're playing up is intriguing.

The actress in Salvation is named Moon Bloodgood? Did she escape from a JK Rowling book?
