Saw The Muppets. Was near to tears the entire movie. Am such a sap. I am Walter.
Oh, good. It's not just me that the muppets made cry.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

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.

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.

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

Yeah. Even beside the whole blatant defying of physics thing that the MI movies excel in (I have no tolerance for the mockery they make of climbing in every single MI movie, it's like they're doing it just to piss me, Consuela, off), it's Tom Cruise. Ewww.

I'm sorry but Mel Gibson will never lose the crown for retroactively tainting a bunch of movies I really liked (or loved). Tom Cruise doesn't even come close.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I don't think I need to CHOOSE. I can (and do) dislike both!

For me, the difference is that Mel Gibson isn't retroactively doing as much damage. Lethal Weapon? Still golden. However, there's little in Cruise's oeuvre that I can't say goodbye to. I mean, really, I only have to keep Top Gun and The Outsiders, and I don't *have* to *have* to keep Top Gun. It's just fun.
He didn't make any good movies. Mel did. And I've already paid for Mel's good movies, and it was long before the covers came off.
I watched Knight and Day in the background the other day, and ick, ew. Just can't look at him. I still want to rescue fully grown and consenting Katie Holmes.
