Perhaps you should lie down WITH Tom Hardy ....
That's the kind of cardio I can get down with. Pun intended.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I thought that would appeal ... one way to get your heart rate up.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I hate Lars Van Trier's films, or at least the few I've seen. But I've hated them with such a passion that I pretty much refuse to watch another one.
I remember liking Breaking the Waves, or at least thinking it was profound and moving. Then came Dancer in the Dark, which I watched with a friend (a fellow Bjork fan), and I remember afterwards we just looked at each other, horrified, saying nothing. None of his recent movies have looked like ones I would enjoy, but then M wanted to see Melancholia, and I was sort of interested... but yeah, I think that will be my last LVT film. Good lord. By the end, I felt like I had been beaten up. (And deafened.) The last image will certainly stay with me, and I can recognize the artistry that went into making it, but no more for me, thanks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Lars von Trier doesn't make movies for people to enjoy. But I do think he's a brilliant filmmaker and worth seeking out, in most cases.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Whatever makeup they're using on Johnny Depp for Dark Shadows, I want it. That's a gorgeous finish.

Punishingly Intricate
The trailer for Abe Lincoln, Vampire Hunter: [link]
Okay, here's a problem with reading a history book like I've done recently. There is a shot in the trailer of the Washington Monument and it is completed, looks like it does today. But the book I just read about Garfield's assassination let me know that construction on the monument wasn't completed until after Garfield's short presidency, that is well after Lincoln's. Of course, maybe in this movie Abe survives his assassination? or something.
The movie looks pretty fun other than that!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm watching Blitz for the Statham, and am quite bored.
However, this Luke Evans dude is quite hot. He's like a manly Orlando Bloom.
Was this a non-American film? My god, it's like they weren't even trying. Hot Fuzz had more integrity. And Jason doesn't take his shirt off. The hell kind of movie is this?
I now must definitely see Safe House. For Ryan's tears (the only redeeming quality of Smokin' Aces). Also, Denzel looks magnetizing in the trailer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What do you mean by Hot Fuzz and integrity?
The shirt thing makes no sense, though. Maybe you missed a bit?

I might have missed some shirtlessness, my attention wasn't appropriately engaged.
As for the integrity, it just felt like a lot of posturing and badass walks to baddass music without any meat, that I think, for all it's mockery and love, Hot Fuzz managed more true emotion, even with all it's deliberate silliness. Honestly, for all it's serious and graphic subject matter, I snickered more during Blitz than Hot Fuzz.
