I think the trailers for the new Fright Night remake need to feature a lot more David Tennant, because what they're showing me of Colin Farrell is not motivating me to put up with another movie full of that annoying McLovin kid.

Have you seen this clip, Matt. [link] It's not a trailer, just a clip.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I saw Crazy Stupid Love and didn't like it that much. I though the subplot with the teenaged son was...well, no doubt that shit happens, but I don't find it entertaining. And the resolution of it crept me out.
Also, totally not down with the soulmate concept, on which so much seemed to hinge.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope it was a good idea to recommend that my parents see Friends With Benefits. I think they'll like it! But I guess we'll see....

I liked it better than CSL. We had trailers for Footloose. They're definitely stealing some of the iconic scenes from the movie, but we'll see how much they changed. I will miss the music. There was a movie with Chris Evans where a woman is trying not to sleep with her 20th guy without falling in love that I'm certainly going to see. It feels like field research. A political thriller they seems to have shown the whole plot of with Gosling and Clooney and PSH. Some NYE movie that looks like Valentine's Day in the sense of being celebrity top heavy, and just as unappealling. And the Bella/Cullen wedding was also shown, along with shirtless Jacob or whatever his name is.

I am super psyched about that. There's a scene in the trailer that has made me laugh an embarassing amount TWICE.

They are remaking Footloose?
Did I block this out?

Thanks! I hadn't seen that before.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Poking around in movie blog land, I found somebody talking about the use of "huckleberry" in Tombstone.
They said that the popular usage of "huckleberry" in the 19th century would've included the notion that it was an off-hand way to say, "second best thing." Like, "You're all out of blueberries? I'll take the huckleberries."
So when Doc says to Ringo "I'm your huckleberry" he's saying, "I'll be your consolation prize."
Anybody ever hear that line that way? It works, I just hadn't thought of it that way.
Conversely, "daisy" just means a very fine thing. "That mare's a beauty. She's a daisy."
