Moonrise Kingdom is pretty wonderful.
I will second that. It was delightful as all get-out.
The movie I'm most looking forward to seeing is "Beasts of the Southern Wild."
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Avengers In Fifteen Minutes
So Big!Boss and I go look at the server, and then we stare blankly at each other for a long moment, and all I can think is, "It appears to run on some sort of electricity."
LOL at both of these. Steph, we must not have the same job after all, because they'd never let me NEAR the server. Ours runs on the tears and sweat of displaced house elves, not "electricity", anyway.
How many levels does the "Reindeer Games" joke work on?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Steph, we must not have the same job after all, because they'd never let me NEAR the server.
I was the best of 3 bad choices, one of whom immediately called "Not it!" and took herself out of the running. Big!Boss is 81 years old and actually didn't believe me when I told him the UPS was not the server. So it fell to me to reboot the fucking thing, so...I resorted to the xkcd cheat sheet: [link]

Ours is held together by prayer and packing tape. And I think it's 100 years old.
How many levels does the "Reindeer Games" joke work on?
Two, at least: (1) Crazy antler hat; (2) no one lets Loki play with them.
I'm willing to entertain other levels.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
xkcd does not lie. As far as I can tell, that's the proper protocol for 90% of computer problems. The other 10% require you to swap out back up tapes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gollum looks marvellous! All shiny and shapely.
So much of those feel like coming home.

I admit that the hat on one of the Dwarves just looks odd and anachronistic to me.

I feel that a rewatch of Elia Kazan's "A Face in the Crowd," is in order in honor of Andy Griffith's passing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Great movie, and a great performance by Griffith.
I've got the soundtrack because of those cool, folksy songs.
