so, like 90210 then.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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.

Because books.
Heh. Exactly!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Hems just turned 30 today, so.

I like him so much more than his brother. I don't *dislike* Liam, he just doesn't ... send me the way Thor Chris does.
Now I want to spend the afternoon watching Cabin in the Woods, which is not the way to Get All the Things Done at all.

Love this fan-made Pacific Rim poster.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Someone tweeted "Shorter Elysium: everyone should have health care". If that description is true, it sounds like a better argument than a movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's what the trailers looked like early on, TBH. Later on they got more action-oriented. But the theme of the movie seemed to me to be "how dare they hoard it to cure the cancer they just got suntanning when someone close to me can't get the treatment they need." I'd hoped that action, and an intriguing plotline (District 9 was obvious at times, but the core of the story, as well as the worldbuilding worked for me--I hear that the Elysium worldbuilding is less convincing--what causes the disparity? Are the 1% just mean?)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I thought Elysium was interesting enough, but not entirely successful. Also, what was with Jodie Foster's accent? I assume it was supposed to be a kind of melange of upper-class Brit/French/society lady, but it just sounded weird.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Suddenly realized that I didn't have enough Rolling Stones in my music library, which led me to one my early-90's guilty pleasure movies: Freejack.
Man, that trailer was so cheesy. But I remember that it hit a lot of my whump buttons.
