Count yourself lucky. I think Cage is on some Marquis de Sade-esque quest to explore the outer reaches of bad acting.
Hands! Hands in new places!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm looking at the amount of fanart for Beasts of the Southern Wild on deviantArt, and there seems to be very little. It's really pretty, but scant. Sadface.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
ita, a multimedia exhibit on Beasts just opened yesterday at the Contemporary Arts Center here . Behind the scenes and deleted scenes video, some of the props, a music room playing the score, etc. if my parents hadn't been here I would have gone to the opening - they had the pickup truck bed boat and Dwight Henry (Wink) catered. Lost Bayou Ramblers played. I will definitely be going to see it and ill let you know if there's anything awesome.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Beau and I hit the trite movie lottery last night. We saw the movie "Red Eye" with Cillian Murphy and Rachel MacAdams. Wes Craven was the director, which perhaps should have been a clue that our movie-watching choices needed some revision, but we pushed forward.
The movie is about Rachel's character who is a big-time hotel manager (?) and how she is kidnapped aboard an airplane, and her father's life is threatened so that she will move a guest from one room to another.
It was an exciting movie generally, but the kidnappers' plans had so many flaws and not a clear purpose that I was puzzled by their end game. Further, the characterization of the main character was quite limited. In general, this could have been a lifetime movie with better special effects. It was perhaps that inconsequential.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure bon bon made me see that in the theater.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
We did see that, and I recall some entertaining theater goers. I do not recall coercing anyone.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I learned an new actor fact last night. Our friend Andy was on the lot and he they were recording the final credit music for the newest Star Trek (which he worked on) so he finagled his way in to watch. Chris Pine was also there and they stood at the side chatting during the break.
Pine said "Dude, is that Dermot Mulroney in the Orchestra?" Andy said of course not, but there was a break and Andy went over and it WAS Mulroney. Turns out he is an accomplished cellist, a member of the musician's union and they call him in for a few gigs a year. So he's played on a lot of soundtracks. Andy and Mulroney worked on a tiny indie film-- one of both of their first job--over 20 years ago. Who knew?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and it WAS Mulroney. Turns out he is an accomplished cellist, a member of the musician's union and they call him in for a few gigs a year.
Cool! No wonder he always played the perfect boyfriend.

Another funny moment apprently was that the conductor let Pine have a try at conducting a short bit which he really enjoyed and thanked everyone profusely for. Afterwards, one of the musicians, an older lady, said to Andy "That was a nice young man. What did he do on the movie?"

Hey. New board.
I remember thinking the trailer for Red Eye was awesome, and being pretty confident the movie wouldn't be. But it was a fun romantic-comedy-fakeout trailer I liked a lot.
