Kaylee ,'Out Of Gas'
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.
Has anyone ever seen The Group? I read the novel years ago and loved, although I don't remember why -- it might have been high school -- and I've never caught the movie before today.
Great cast -- Jessica Walter, Shirley Knight (who is lovely so young!), Hal Holbrook, Candice Bergen, Larry Hagman -- but it's supposed to be the 1930s, and they all look straight from the early 1960s. Very disappointing.
Read the book, never saw the movie.
I was at every home game of that streak.
I looked for you in the crowdshots! We were living here, but that was the first year we could get all the A's games on cable.
I'm taking my work team to see Moneyball on Friday. Our project has to do with solving challenges by going outside the discipline, and we focus on accurately defining the problem. So I think it will be a good fit for the team.
I am amused, as the office movie trip last year was The Social Network. Maybe we should just ask Sorkin what his next project is, and base our work plans on that.
I looked for you in the crowdshots!
Most of the crowd footage was filmed a year ago and I had really tried to fly out to participate. But that didn't work out. There was also some footage from the actual games and, other than the green wig, I wouldn't know where to find myself. I sat all over the place - wherever I could get a ticket for games that weren't part of our season tickets. I do recall that for the last game of the streak we were sitting on the second deck, in the club seat area (my work season tickets).
This is definitely a thinking outside the box type movie.
As much as I love a comic-book movie, I have to admit that a large portion of my brain is looking forward to the Avengers strictly for the eye candy. Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, RDJ -- good god.
And bonus Ruffalo! (I realize not everyone likes him.)
"No, She Lives in a Dark Place Now."
This funny mashup by an unknown cartoonist references the children’s TV show Teletubbies and the horror film The Ring. The demonic Samara Morgan emerges from a different sort of television set.
I need this in an eight-foot tall poster for my apartment....
I must be in a crabby mood tonight. On another board I ran across someone saying she's not even sure Joseph Gordon-Levitt can be in a bad movie, and I posted a link to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
I cried again in the movies today, but this time it was out of laughter. I really liked What's Your Number? The scene where one of her exes explains to her how super gay he is, with hand motions, was just too fucking hilarious. I like it because it was dirty and adult and funny, and Chris Evans...I didn't think my crush could get bigger, but it has.
I don't really remember Anna Faris from anything, but she was charismatic and sexy and whatever the non-cheesy word for spunky is.
