Was happy to see that Bob's work survived as the Starfleet academy
That was CSUN, right?
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, this is close to an exact text of an IM between a friend and myself after we first saw it:
Heh. It was only after I saw her from three different angles that I realized who it was. You're right - the makeup was good. But still, it threw me.
I also really enjoyed the faux sixties fashions of it all. Yay, liquid eyeliner out to there.
I do get GC's complaints about agency, but I really liked the actress who played Uhura. Her presence and restraint worked perfectly. As much as the comedy got broader than TOS, there were scenes in this movie that had much more delicacy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Uhuru
Uhura! I can tell this is going to drive me crazy like when people refer to "Rimbaldi."
I knew it was Winona Ryder before I saw the movie, so I couldn't not recognize her, and thus I didn't think the age makeup was very good. I'll try to take an objective look at it next time. If I can get through my abridged TOS before the movie leaves theatres, I'd like to see it again. Well, I'd like to see it again anyway because it was really fun.

Although interesting note that Uhura is based on uhuru, Swahili for "freedom".

Fixed, because while it's amusing to think about you running around screaming "There are BUGS under my skin!" I don't really want you crazy.

I just watched Gosford Park
Love that movie so much, and not just for my first glimpse at Clive Owen.
This is a movie that definitely benefits from repeat viewings. Just about everyone is great in it, and the dialogue twists and turns in the corners of the scenes.
I'd still like to see Precious Bane finally released on region one DVD, since that was my first sighting of a very young Clive Owen. It was on Masterpiece Theatre in 1990, and starred Janet McTeer, John Hurt, Owen, and John Bowe (who is damn hot as Kestor Woodseaves, the weaver, and is a stark contrast to his George Marlowe in the first Prime Suspect).

Like so many of Altman's movies. But Gosford Park is one of my favorites from his last period. He told an interviewer that he wanted to make his own version of The Rules Of The Game.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
I was fascinated by the Upstairs/Downstairs-ness of Gosford Park. It was a perfect vehicle for Altman's roving style.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
TCM is showing a rare Cassavetes movie from 1963, A Child is Waiting.
If anybody wants me to Tivo it and tape it, pipe up now.
