Kazinsky's glee over getting his nose broken in a fight scene and that footage making it to the final film buys a pass for most anything from me.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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.
No! Crisp katas!
(Could I love the Martini more? No, not a chance. The look on his face makes me want to do the forms with two backs with him...)

Saw RED 2 today, very enjoyable. I love Sarah, she's so un-girly but still likes girly things. Not even a twitch of anything other than joy and delght to receive a customized gun. I hope someone recovered it for her.
"Where did you get the bodies?"
"My freezer."
Because you never know when you'll need them.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just saw Don Jon and liked it even more than I expected. He avoided lots of first feature pitfalls and it's quite smartly sweet. My crush on him has grown even stronger now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Glad to hear it, Scrappy. I've been looking forward to seeing that one.

I saw Gravity at an Imax theater in 3-D. Wow, that was intense. I'm glad it was a nice, crisp 90 minutes, because if it had been much longer it would have gotten unbearable. I was pretty sure she was going to make it, and had a feeling Kowalski wouldn't, but still - I was exhausted afterwards.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It was really worth the price of the 3D ticket, because we went to a theater with subwoofers under the seats.
I found I was tilting my head more than normal, which made things start going fuzzy -- because so much of the movie is filmed without a definite up and down, I kept trying to lean to bring it back to normal.
I'm proud to report that my friend and I immediately noticed the low-gravity flames and realized their significance.
The MIT SFF geeks I was with were VERY appreciative of the space stuff on display. We decided that there is a new law: if you have Checkov's fire extinguisher in the second act, you have to use it in the third.

Jordan's, right? That's where I saw it. Their tickets aren't all that expensive for a 3D movie, I must say.

The one in Framingham, yep. And then dinner at Bertucci's after, to firmly thrash out what we saw.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

It made me burst into some very undignified snort-laugh.
