I was ruined for that movie -- along with The Long Riders -- by watching a documentary about the real Jesse James.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just finished Syriana. I had no idea what was going on, but I think it was good?

I do have two questions: Was the intimation that Oskar's father was gay, or was it that his friend was raping Oskar? I think it's the latter, but I'm interested in what other people think.
The impression I got was the former, and that some of Oskar's disassociation was due to his little bit of family time with his dad being hijacked by an outsider. I haven't read the source material, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got the same vibe as Matt.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The book - as I understand it - is very disturbing and has a lot of references to pedophilia, but I don't think it had to do with Oskar.
I agree with Matt's take.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Caught the end Queen of the Damned waiting for True Blood to start, and the blonde vamp withe the curly hair has me stumped as to where I know him from. I swear I looked him up years ago and was surprised to find out who he was, but looking again none of the names on IMDB are standing out.

The guy who played Armand?
I never really recognized him, but I may have been distracted by the movie hiring Claudia Black and then doing absolutely nothing with her.

For serious.
Armand = Jothee from Farscape. I feel so much better now.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wait, which Jothee? The regular series Jothee or the Peacekeeper War Jothee?

Regular series, I do believe.
