I cannot believe that no one here mentioned My Bodyguard!
I LOVED that movie! I can't believe I'd forgotten about it.
My friends told me tonight that My Little Pony is this big fandom for guys, nicknamed "Bronies" (bros + ponies). Can this be true?
Quite true. The reboot is done by the same person who was responsible for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and it's very good. A couple of episodes have some brilliantly executed musical numbers, which include some Sondheim pastiches. (Also, the voice actor who did Raven's voice in TT does the lead character in the reboot.)
And there was an article in Wired last week.
HS movies: seconding 10 Things I Hate About You. Incredible cast, very funny, and girl characters who don't suck. Also, I have an unholy love for Footloose.
X-Men: First Class
was so good! I think I liked it more than
Thor.
It was back to being good like the first two.
Man, the Mel Gibson one is so on target, it really isn't amusing.
Just got back from seeing Super 8 and I really enjoyed it. I feel like the alien thing isn't such a big deal because the point isn't the aliens, it's the kids. You don't need to see the alien because the point is how everyone reacts to what's going on, rather than the alien itself. I've been making mental comparisons to The Goonies far more than to E.T..
It was exactly what I expected going in, and I thought it was a lot of fun and had lots of great moments. I didn't think it was exactly like a Spielberg movie, but if you don't like his films I suppose you won't like it, as it reminded me of that genre.
Ailleann, I totally had
Goonies
vibes, too.
I liked that the
reason behind the dead wife and the guilty neighbor wasn't a drunk driving accident or something. I liked that it was a woman doing a stereotypical man's job. Just, doing a job, picking up slack, shit happens. Although I'm curious as to why Deputy Lamb arrested Shep the day of the wake. Did I miss something or was it just random background stuff?
