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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Nicole Miller's is silly. Rachel Roy's is I don't even know. The Blonds turn Katniss into Phoenix and it looks pretty cool. Christian Siriano's is pretty nice too. BCBGeneration's is pretty awesome, if impractical. Christian Cota's generally works. Ooh, I like Charlotte Ronson's.

Are these fashion designers aware that Jennifer Lawrence is not seven feet tall with no waist?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You are familiar with fashion illustration tropes, right?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Saw The Muppets. Was near to tears the entire movie. Am such a sap. I am Walter.

Also finally saw Zombieland. Wonderful fun movie. Loved all the characters.

Stanley Kubrick’s FEAR AND DESIRE To Be Televised 8pm Wednesday For The First Time Ever!! Set Those DVRs To TCM!!

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is set to make movie history this December when it presents the world television premiere of Fear and Desire (1953), the rarely seen debut film by legendary director Stanley Kubrick. Premiering Wednesday, Dec. 14, at 8 p.m. (ET), the allegorical war drama from the director of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and The Shining (1980) will be the centerpiece of an extraordinary 24-hour marathon honoring the preservation efforts of the Motion Picture Department at George Eastman House.

Stanley Kubrick’s allegorical anti-war drama Fear and Desire, which opens the primetime portion of TCM’s tribute to the George Eastman House, stars Frank Silvera, Paul Mazursky (who would later go on to become a noted filmmaker) and Kenneth Harp. The story centers on a platoon stranded behind enemy lines while fighting an unknown foe in an unidentified conflict. The existential drama comes to a climax when the soldiers’ perilous return home is interrupted by an encounter with a mysterious woman.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Oh, good. It's not just me that the muppets made cry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

MI4 - fun times!

Sherlock 2 - holy crap, awfulness!

Thus ends my movie reviews for this evening.

Because books.

Are you sure you didn't reverse those reactions? Please?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And yet, you couldn't pay me going market rates to watch MI:4 in the theatres and I'm looking quite forward to buying my SH2 tickets tomorrow. It's amazing what prejudice can do for you.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I know, right?

I think I'd have to lose a bet to see a Tom Cruise movie.

Because books.

Tom Cruise makes my skin crawl at this point. I can't even watch Top Gun or Risky Business anymore, sadly.
