This is why I've never seen the movie -- I could tell that the things I liked best about the book wouldn't be there, or would be changed too much.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've been sitting on my Netflix disc of Happy Feet for some time now, putting off watching it. I might just send it back tomorrow after seeing what y'all are saying about it.
Not enough Kip.
Haven't seen English Patient, but since my brother's name is Kip, this made me doubletake!!

Not enough Kip.
Naveen was very good in the role, though.

The temptation to make a "One more thing..." comment is strong right now, but I suspect it won't come together cause it's patently inappropriate. But I hope he would take that as a sign of affection.

For my part erika, I would think it was hilarious, were I in similar circumatances. Or, I would have when my mind worked, but probably wouldn't get it when it didn't.

Yeah, one of the perils of a catchphrase, I suppose. Guess he got off cheap compared to say: Judge Tells Piven Family to 'Hug It Out, Bitches' I really do hope the Falks aren't still fighting about that, though...makes a tragic time sadder.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You know, I am really amused that one little movie has caused a forty-year-old fandom to be reborn. And has gotten me into a show I never cared about checking out before. Energize!

During the Inside the White House show last night, there was a terrific extended commercial/trailer for Julie & Julia--I cannot wait for this movie!!
I didn't know too much about it other than it was about the woman who had that yearlong blog about cooking all the recipes from Julia Child's French cookbook and that it would also have some scenes with Julia Child herself (I was unaware of how they would work her in). Well, this trailer explained everything--it's mixing together both the contemporary story and the story of how Julia got into cooking and succeeded with her cookbook, et al. Wonderful!!
And seeing Meryl Streep as Julia Child is just so much fun--there's a bit from before she went to Cordon Bleu and is eating at a restaurant with her husband Paul, and he asks her what she's good at. Her response is "Eating!" which she says with utter joy and a twinkle in her eye.
