Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
I'm still a bit miffed that Gugino came on Justified to guest star and played someone other than Karen Sisco. I mean, easiest crossover chance ever! In my head, Raylan Givens and Karen Sisco are in the same universe.
Well, the character's name is Karen, and there's a line about her being divorced or something -- I heard there are IP issues with the character's name, but am pretty sure she's meant to be Karen Cisco. t /Justified spoilers?
Funny you should mention that, Jesse, I thought it was fanon run amok, but maybe not.
But not being able to mention her name? Y'all are funny.
Her teeth give me the creeps.

That is also possible! I mean, I got it from somewhere, but maybe not somewhere reputable.
Hmm, Electra Luxx sounds worth renting.
JZ, I bet I'd enjoy the visuals. I can't promise I'll see it, due to the lack of fun funds in my life, but if I do I will let you know!
StW nearly hurt himself laughing over the Moonrise Kingdom trailer. I think it makes him a little sad that I don't like Wes Anderson *at all*.
Last Days of Disco is the Stillman film I loved dearly, and I enjoyed Barcelona, but Metropolitan bored me to tears.

For a bit there I was confusing Snow White and the Hunter with Mirror, Mirror. And I was thinking that Kristen Stewart shouldn't be mistreated because of an awful trilogy to the point of her name being avoided (and while I was still confused, I was trying to figure out why people loathed Charlize Theron).
But, yeah. I've had a problem with she-who-must-not-be-named-horse-face [cuz it's mean] on the basis of aesthetics alone. The acting looks dreadful in the trailers, too, on her part. I never got her. And when I saw Mary O'Reilly (or whatever that movie was with John Malkovich) I finally understood the horror of her face. I like her in certain roles, but the trailer for Mirror, Mirror makes me cringe
I was just thinking that it might have been a commentary, Jesse. If so, the creators believe it...they had a nice little chemistry...it would be good to see her on there again.
Huh. I hadn't heard that about Gugino in Justified. Great! Instant headcanon it is!
I've actually liked J-Ro a lot in a few movies, mostly where she was meant to be hugely unsympathetic. I know there are a lot of people who hate it, but I freakin' adore My Best Friend's Wedding because her character is such a blind trainwreck. She's destructive and self-obsessed, but I thought the scene where she confesses her feelings (and have them blown up on her face) was just terrific. Not to mention the denouement, which dares to go counter to decades of "Platonic Girl/Boy BFF but Secretly Meant To Be" tradition.
Another one I adored was Duplicity. Roberts and Clive Owen were super fun together, and the script was witty and smart. I was quite sad that it did not do well in Box Office, because I wanted more movies like that.
