Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Art Crawl!!!

Joss talking about Cabin in the Woods.

I really want to see Woman in Black. It just sounds like scary fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, Wesley Morris in the Boston Globe REALLY hated This Means War. I'll still probably see it, but I love his last paragraph:

Whatever’s happening with women and romance at the moment is worrying. Rachel McAdams spends “The Vow’’ trapped in a post-adolescent self, with no memory of the woman she was before a car accident. “One for the Money’’ turns Janet Evanovich’s tough, eccentric bounty hunter into Katherine Heigl. Kristen Stewart spent four “Twilight’’ movies pleading for a vampire to make love to her; when he does, she almost dies giving birth to their demon-child. On “30 Rock,’’ Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon is now so pitifully addicted to the approval of Jack Donaghy that she no longer knows what she wants in a relationship. This version of Witherspoon might be the most dismaying of all since she’s not even a woman. She’s a place to plant a flag. It’s hard to see her in this movie, say, enjoying a private dance to Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It’’ while Pine and Hardy secretly watch her from inside her house, and not feel vengeful. This really should mean war.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

URGH. That sounds fucking creepy. I'm sad for all three principles involved, who all deserve better projects than what this sounds like -- a pile of crap.

move out and draw fire

Yeah, if they hadn't included the "Gloria Steinem went to prison so you could date two guys" line, it would be much easier to interpret the whole movie as Brokeback Denial at the CIA.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm getting the feeling that this movie would be much improved by Meg Ryan's Addicted to Love character crashing the picture, destroying the lives of the two male leads, and riding off into the sunset with Reese Witherspoon on the back of her motorcycle.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I'd watch that. Even if that is too much bouncy hair for one couple.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I like Matt's movie, too.

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

I have to admit, my most fervent hope for this movie was that the Reese Witherspoon character would be a cipher for their displaced obsession. I'll turn my feminist card in for the duration of the movie, but once I saw they'd cast an actress with little magic for me, the less I wanted it to be about her.

I don't even really like Chris Pine. Frankly, I just want to go watch Tom Hardy be obsessive about something, and have fights.

Meg Ryan's hair wasn't all that bouncy in the movie I'm referring to. She had it it cut short for her crazy tomboy character: [link]

Oh, right. I actually liked that one, but I forgot that part.
