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 just watched Happy Feet. It was generally pretty boring and I didn't understand where all the accents came from. And I expected a movie with this concept to have a message about how Being Different Is Okay (Even If You Are Considered an Abomination Unto the Lord), but instead the message was that penguins are only worth saving if they can dance.
...What?
Roger Ebert says not to see Up in 3-D.
who in their right mind is going to turn down David Bowie offering to be their love slave, even if it means giving up a family member,
Well, she also had to say she feared him, but I could work up a little existential dread for the cause.

yep. That's Happy Feet.
Skipping over all the painting talk to say that I am working a benefit bash for Betty Garrett tonight. I put Betty in her mic, and I am currently watching the show from backstage, standing next to Beau Bridges listening to Betty sing.
Now Beau and his daughter are onstage singing to Betty.
Other people I have put into mic tonight - Gogi Grant and Carole Cook. Betty is singing dirty limericks.
All of the old ladies here tonight are dirty old broads. It's pretty awesome.
Also, I'm now officially two degrees away from Frank Sinatra, Jack Lemmon, Gene Kelley, and any number of other classic film stars.
Ya moved up a degree!
Sounds like a fun gig.
Carole Cook is now roasting Betty. It's merciless. And hilarious.
Heh. If you see Betty again, you can tell her I've got one of her fifties headshots in my Hot Hollywood Stars folders.
