Trust me, lots of fandom has heard of Brick. We love us some Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I cannot believe I haven't seen Brick. I need to remedy that.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I liked it, but I prefer "The Lookout,"

Hey. New board.
Movies that get a bad rap but are actually just fine to great: Josie and the Pussycats and Ella Enchanted. Love 'em.

Because books.
I haven't seen Brick either, and it's been in queue forever.
I forgot about Emperor's New Groove! I loved that movie.
For underrated movies I like (or movies I think were underrated?), I love Wild Things and Malice. Both twisty with great casts, and one has sort of regular porn, and one has old house porn.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Point of fact: the writer/director of "Brick" did "The Brothers Bloom" which is a movie I liked a lot - but both movies aren't to everybody's taste. I think they can be too quirky for most, but the average buffista/o probably will like it.
The writer/director (Johnson) has also written for "Terriers" and "Breaking Bad."

THAT'S why his name sounded familiar. Kewl.

Yep, I really liked The Brothers Bloom too.

He didn't write, only directed.
I'm looking forward to his next movie, Looper, which is about people who send people back in time to be murdered and then, of course, someone (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is assigned to murder his future self (Bruce Willis).

Compassionately intolerant
I don't know. Part of me wants to because she is all about (spies?) (spys?) more than one spy right now. But then I thinka bout it and it's like, there are plenty of free museums for us to go to without spending $$ on one.
I have to support this 100%. You could spend a month on the Mall alone, and then there is the Children's Museum, the Zoo, the Library of Congress, etc. etc. All more kid friendly and FREE.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
didn't love Brick. mostly because of the noir dialogue. The Lookout was fabulous though.
