'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Fred,
I used to LOVE the Three Stooges when I was a kid. Watched the reruns on weekends. I'm not sure I found it funny, but I loved to watch them with a Shirley Temple movies.
I run far away from slapstick now. I just don't like it much for slapstick sake. You couldn't pay me to watch the movie.
I was a big THree Stooges fan as a kid. The preview for the movie did absolutely nothing for me. So I don't know if it's the movie, or if I just got tired of the slapstick.
I laughed my way through American Reunion so I'm pretty sure it's not aversion to slapstick that's behind my make-sign-of-the-cross reaction to the Stooges movie.
according to [link] , there is a Reaver in Cabin in the Woods. it's the little things...
according to [link]
Yeah, I think I gotta buy that book....
( The Cabin in the Woods: The Official Visual Companion)
Yeah, I put that thing on my Amazon Wishlist. HINT HINT.
I hope she doesn't want to write the script. Because I LOVED that book when I was a kid.
I keep finding out that more members of my non-Buffista friends and members of my family are secret Buffistas! How is it possible that I never knew before?
I just recommended Cabin in the Woods to a friend and he invoked Buffy in his appreciation.
I'm late to the party, as usual, I only saw Hunger Games for the first time this week.
I had no problems with any of the casting with the possible exception that Katniss was exceptionally healthy-looking for someone as deeply poverty-stricken as she was supposed to be. I easily handwaved it on the basis of her being well-fed from hunting, or selling her kills.
Two things struck me, and they're related. The movie was filmed in Mohicans country (Asheville, French Broad River, Lake Lure and Hickory Nut Gorge), which I recognized as been-there-often familiar, and it made me a little homesick. The second was that I grew up with people who lived as District 12 lived, some of them were relatives and friends. What's more, people still live like that--just like that--today. It's actually a couple of steps down from Justified country.
it made me a little homesick
Me, too. Didn't expect that.
What's more, people still live like that--just like that--today.
True, though none of my friends or relatives. Although I did just hear a story about my grandfather at 8 YO trying to cook a pigeon in a can.
