Not that I saw. Oh wait, there is a scene where one of the guys (Joe Manganiello's character, I think) seems to be using a vacuum-pump like contraption to *ahem* enhance himself. You don't actually see it from the front - it's shot so that the large/long object in a clear tube sort of inhabits the shot from the upper left side of the screen. Like the camera was just below/behind the guy's right hip. And it's a little out of focus, because the focus is on a couple of the guys talking on the other side of the room. So not full-frontal - full-side-al?
edit - because "i" is not "s"

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Watching Safehouse, and when Weston shot the stadium guard, I kind of cheered. Dubious protagonist shoots supposed good guy because the guy was a moron and was shooting civilians in his attempt to shoot the "bad guy". Weston takes him out to protect other innocent lives. (My cheers were extra strong because I could not believe the douchenozzle was firing into a crowd).
I know it's a deliberate contrivance to really dig Weston, but I loved that the thought was there, and that it helped fill in shades of gray that were still moral as all getout. And I don't recall a movie that ever bothered with that.

I went to see Magic Mike yesterday afternoon (me and a theater full of screaming women, and the evening show was sold out by 2:30). It was well-made, but left me pissed off for the same reason Ten Inch Hero did: nice but unconventional protagonist wins over disapproving, judgemental woman by learning to be ashamed of who he is and changing to suit her .

Because books.
Saw Brave, and absolutely loved it. No reservations, either -- I thought the mother/daughter interaction was the heart of the story, and I understood it completely.
I also have horrible, horrible hair envy now.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Does anybody have any good steampunk movie recs? Aside from the 1950s Rod Taylor The Time Machine, Journey to the Center of the Earth (in which Pat Boone got billing over James Mason), At the Earth's Core, with the dashing Doug McClure. I'd include Valley of Gwangi, but not so much with the steam, more just punk. But along those lines. No giant apes, though.
I'm up for anime, too-- in the vein of Porco Rosso, Howl's Moving Castle, etc.
Anybody?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Aha. I think we actually have City of Lost Children on dvd. In a box, somewhere. I'll check Netflix instant watch for both of those, thanks!
