And there was an article in Wired last week.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
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?

Julie, in hindsight, I don't think he actually arrested him, he just got mad and took him away. I mean, they didn't show him in jail later, and it didn't seem to be connected to the cops picking him up as a suspect in the missing engines thing. (I figure that's just cause he's a drunk-and-disorderly type.)
And yeah, there wasn't anything weird behind the wife's death, just everyday tragedy. I think it helped make her death not seem cheap/only a plot device.
eta: sorry about the broken tags.
