'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
Guillermo del Toro
Related to him, we're watching Pacific Rim right now (currently on a break for more dinner). Mako Mori just kicked Beckett's ass in the fight. I assume she'll end up piloting with him.
We're making predictions as to who dies first, and how horribly. I hope the Russians survive.
Aww, poor Russians. I wanted more of them. A lot more of them.
Ron Perlman is awesome.
That movie is one I wish we had seen on the big screen.
I hope the Russians survive.
I was going to say, so did everyone who watched the movie.
Awww, I feel like we should all form one big support group.
There was an awesome piece somewhere on tumblr where Alexis & Sasha survived, and Alexis got them home by punching a shark and making it tow them home.
Found it! Alexis does not punch the shark, but he does ask Comrade Squid for directions (Comrade Squid is not so helpful): [link]
Though Comrade Squid is apparently very affectionate.
Comrade Squid! Those comics are part of my headcanon for Pacific Rim, because THE RUSSIANS HAVE TO LIVE.
(Actually, I think they do survive somehow in the novelization. I seem to remember hearing about that.)
Jilli is in charge of assigning movie directors and actors from now on.
I am okay with this. Do I get replicas of costumes from these movies? Because that would be even better.
There's this comic of the Russians, too: [link] I love fans.
I think Requiem for a Dream is a great movie. Not a movie I ever want to see again, but great. I haven't seen anything by Aronofsky since that one, but The Wrestler got excellent reviews, didn't it?
t /still hasn't seen Pacific Rim
