I enjoyed the books enough, but I skimmed over any parts I thought were too boring or graphic.

I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I think I'd agree, but there have been many NF under the bridge...I think I watched it around Christmas last year. The year before that was Generation Kill...I swear I didn't try for that...maybe my subconscious was all "Bah, humbug, motherfucker!"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The second and third movies are not good, but that probably has a lot to do with the fact that it's a miniseries that was edited for theatrical release as a trilogy. David Fincher is enough to get me to see his version, even having seen the originals.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just watched 40 minutes of the first one in my lunch hour, and hmm. Hmm. I'm trying to see it all American style.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Okay, Attack the Block is pretty fabulous. It's so rare that I see movies that just skip the whole exposition part and dive right into the action that I'm always surprised that it works pretty awesomely and why don't we just do that all the time?

I'm trying to think of good acting turns by:
- Robert De Niro
- Sam Jackson
- Brad Pitt
Godfather II? Eve's Bayou? Fresh? Meet Joe Black?

I thought DeNiro was creepy as hell in the remake of Cape Fear. And since he was supposed to be creepy, I'd call that good acting.

You mean specifically where they don't chew the scenery?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
DeNiro's fantastic in Godfather II. A very soulful performance with allusions to Brando.

I do tend to have a fondness for scenery-chewing. Disregard my suggestion.
