Birdie sources tell me that the parrot in the Hobbit videoblog is a Kea - the only Alpine parrot.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Also the only carnivorous parrot.

I finally saw Hugo today at our local second run theater. What an amazing film! I think it may end up being one of my first blu-ray purchases when we finally get our player hooked up.

Just got back from seeing The Artist with my mom. Soooo good, it earned every Oscar it won.I am amazed at how well Jean Dujardin was able to win the audience's sympathy with facial expressions and body language.

Matt, ITA we saw it last night and loved it. It was charming and sweet. I'm glad it won Best Picture because I would not have been able to convince my husband to see it otherwise. I have to say that Uggie is quite the actor too.

Finally watching Winter's Bone.
Oh. My. G-d. This movie is insanely good. Jennifer Lawrence is blowing me away, as is John Hawkes. Hawkes is blindingly good. The best I've ever seen him. And he's almost impossible to see under the character.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So, who's seen Project X?
No, seriously. I want a trusted opinion.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I haven't, but I do like this review:
Not to stoop to hyperbole, but Project X might very well be the worst movie ever made in the entire history of cinema.

From the previews I have the feeling it would be much improved if it turned out to be the Cloverfield sequel and all the kids featured end up being stepped on, eaten, or exploded after they're bitten by monster lice.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
that's what I thought happened from the previews until last week when I saw an extended ad.
