Pfft. Silly movie. Silly silly.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

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.

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

What's the dish on The Artist? I had heard remarkably little about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's because it's silent.
(ba-dump-ba!)

Except for, you know, the audio track. But at least that's out of the way...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I REALLY liked "The Artist." It's great fun and the two leads are just delights. I think some familiarity with silent film makes it more enjoyable, but I don't think it's required.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Huh. I haven't read any of the Stephanie Plum books but heard vague murmurs of discontent from the fans about having Katherine Heigl play the character in the movie adaptation. Deservedly so 'cause boy, did she ever make some stinkers, especially in the romantic comedy genre.
Anyway, the trailer's out: [link] And you know what? It looks... sort of fun! I know nothing about the books (other than the fact that the lead character is a bounty hunter), but I'd totally go see this movie on the merit of that trailer, Heigl-factor and all. Admittedly, I like romantic comedies, but still. Nice job, trailer-monkeys.

I thought was interesting that the two leads aren't American. They look very engaging.

Yeah, I thought the trailer looked shockingly good and pretty much right on.

I haven't read the books. I imagine I might find the character in them as irritating as I find Heigl's version. That trailer makes me want to slap people.
