Good lord. I also use Dancer in the Dark as a bleak yardstick, so I think I'll be giving that one a miss.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Yikes. My coworker is a huge Lionel Shriver fan (author of the novel) and she's super excited about going to see We Need to Talk About Kevin. I would kinda like to go, but I'm really not sure it's the best movie to see while pregnant, and you all are confirming my inclination to stay away. Maybe in 20 years.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I stole this from somewhere on tumblr, and I'm about to fall right into my monitor.
First, though, I must focus on This Means War.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Avengers preview was the one time during the Super Bowl that I leaned forward and told everyone (aka my parents) to be quiet...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Do NOT go, Kate. Really.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
More than the original Dutch version of The Vanishing?
I never thought of that as depressing; just hellaciously creepy and disturbing.

I sometimes have up a movie release calendar overlay on my normal calendars, but there's too much bullshit up in there. I need to make an "important movie" calendar, so those dates are all obvious.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm really not sure it's the best movie to see while pregnant
Like I said, I only watched about ten minutes of it, but I think I can say conclusively that it is the WORST movie to see while pregnant.

Because books.

Oh god.
Yeah, I'll be giving this one a miss, then.
