Ohdeargodbadfangirl. I was wondering why she looked so familiar. Ooof.
I do like Ryan Reynolds and Kal Penn.
They play off each other very nicely.
'Trash'
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.

Ok, interesting topic of relevance to, um, some of us, what is the dumbest movie you've rented for love?Either real love, or the Drool Streaks on the Monitor kind...up to you?
I like The 400 Blows quite a bit (especially the in-jokes referring to other scenes from French cinema), but Truffaut is my least favorite director of the French New Wave. I absolutely hate Jules et Jim and don't have much use for Shoot the Piano Player.
I love L'Avventura and liked Blow Up, but man, Antonioni was all about the ennui. There's no action.
I rented Uwe Boll's House of the Dead because Tyron Leitso was one of the stars. I hope I never sink lower than that.
I rented White Noise 2 for Nathan Fillion. The Katie Sackoff was a bonus. The plot was... not.
Speaking of the French New Wave, the AV Club put an interview with Agnes Varda up today: [link]

::cries::
(although Jules et Jim does suck)
Corwood--no Truffaut love? Really? Even for lovely confections like Day for Night?
Antonioni was all about the ennui. There's no action.
But it's a movie about a guy who may have photographed a murder! How can that be ennuitastic and actionless? COME ON, ANTONIONI.
::cries::
There, there.
Even for lovely confections like Day for Night?
Never seen it! I've only seen The 400 Blows, Shoot The Piano Player, Jules et Jim, and Fahrenheit 451, and I disliked (or hated) the last three of those. Everything I've read that the guy wrote, on the other hand, was sharp and insightful.
COME ON, ANTONIONI.
Well, it does have topless Vanessa Redgrave. And Jeff Beck smashing a guitar a la Pete Townshend. And the style is definitely High Swinging London. But the stories in Antonioni movies are sorta like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead: the story you think you're going to get is happening elsewhere.
