I balked at first but then Harrison Ford seemed like he was really enjoying himself so I did too.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Why sad? I go with funny and Ford having fun, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Why sad?
I hate to see families I love fight.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Emeline and I discovered Spy Kids today.
First of all - fantastic movie. I really liked it a lot and since Emeline is in full on Spy Girl mode, she loved it more than her Littlest Pet Shop.
Second of all - when Alan Cumming isn't being cast as or acting like a giant freakazoid, he's really quite good looking.

Spy Kids is great, and the second one is even better.

Today's Subject: Movies That Got A Bad Rap
Inspired by P-Cow's endorsement of Green Hornet, Fay's FB plumping for Sucker Punch and my discovery of the old Disney animated movie Atlantis (fully of steampunky goodness! and an interesting and diverse cast), I am curious which movies you've discovered which were much better than their reputation or critical assessment or box-office suggested.

Treasure Planet
Indeed, it's a fine double feature with Atlantis. I'm sure there's a lot of crossover among the creators.
Plus, Emma Thompson as a swashbuckling space captain.

Nope. Besides the composer and casting directors, not so much.
I liked both those movies, if I recall. A couple of my friends are big fans of Atlantis. Looks like Joss was involved somewhere in there, too.

Well, they're pretty similar in vibe and look.
Having watched all these Disney movies multiple times I keep seeing links which may or may not really exist.
Tarzan sometimes looks like a cross between Beauty and the Beast and Emperor's New Groove. Plus the skateboard moves they used in Tarzan and Treasure Planet. The retrofuturistic design of Atlantis and Treasure Planet. Mulan and Pocahontas both seem paired as anti-Princess movies (both somewhat humorless).
