Xander ,'Bring On The Night'
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.
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.
Just back from Thor. I liked it but I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I didn't keep hearing Sir William Thatcher.
I totally enjoyed Super 8. Yeah, it's derivative, but it still worked. I thought you might have to know Spielberg's work to really get it, but we went with friends and their actual 13-year-old boy, who was convulsed with laughter by the kids' dialogue. He thought the whole thing was really good.
And definitely stay through the credits.
HS movies - Valley Girl?
High School movies: Teen Wolf is a favorite.
My can't-not-watch movie is Singin' in the Rain despite the fact that I can recite the dialogue and probably dance (badly) most of the choreography.
My drop everything movies are Velvet Goldmine and Bring it On.
I don't think there's anything else on the list.
Aww, Alan Rubin died of lung cancer. If you don't recognize that name, he was the trumpeter for the Blues Brothers and in that movie, his character was Mr. Fabulous, the maitre'd at Chez Paul before the brothers came in and humiliated him into rejoining the band.
Does Clueless count as a high school movie? Because it could be the anti-Auntie Mame movie in that Cher Knows What's Best for everyone, but Cher gets it wrong where Auntie Mame gets it right.
I think Clueless was mentioned above, but it's also based on Austen's Emma, in which Emma does get matchmaking completely wrong.
My can't-not-watch movie is Singin' in the Rain despite the fact that I can recite the dialogue and probably dance (badly) most of the choreography.
A particular favorite of mine as well. I always get sucked into the Harry Potter movies and LOtR movies and stuff like Van Helsing and Underworld. Chronicles of Riddik, too.
