I love Twelfth Night too, Vonnie.
The thing about the story is that it almost seems like it could have been written by a melodramatic tween fan-ficcer.
Yes. And every step of the plot hinges on someone making a stupid choice.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tip to moviemakers: If you have Dolph Lundgren in a prominent role in your movie, nay, if he is in it all, 24 minutes in is way too late. Know your audience. Know the world! KNOW THE TRUTH.

...You're probably not talking about Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning?
I want to say you should see it, but there are major strobe effects pre-Dolph that seem likely to be terrible for your head. But holy shit that movie has some crazy action. I can look for timestamps so you can skip the strobes and enjoy the mayhem.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I think that's because the last act is more stupidity than tragedy.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

brillig
Watched a missing scene from the Avengers with Loki and Clint talking about Fury and the team he was putting together. The scene counters my primary objection to the Avengers, ie, why the hell did Loki let himself get captured in Berlin? And it shows Clint's strategic brain in action. Always lovely to see bitsof Clint in action.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yes.
I think so.

Shit, now that I know he buys it, I might even see the first one. Too much to hope for an Executive Decision scenario, though, huh?
