Xander ,'Get It Done'
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.
Ryan Reynolds is shirtless on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. Whatever movie he did that for, I thank the director.
It's for the new Sandra Bullock rom-com, The Proposal. I've watched it, mostly because I like rom-com as a genre and have a everlasting weakness for Sandra Bullock, but it's not very good. But Reynolds is half-naked in a couple of scenes though.
I don't think that's for a movie, it's just what EW decided to do.
and have a everlasting weakness for Sandra Bullock
My sistah! She's adorable and hysterical, even in the dreck.

Hahaha, oh, good. You don't want to know how often I have watched Two Weeks Notice, which is my favourite of the Bullock rom-com oeuvre. I love it (almost) unironically. I own the damn movie, even.
I think I have seen that? I probably liked it.
Miss Congeniality was much funnier than I expected it to be.
I have nothing intelligent to add - I just wanted to share that my ridiculous crush on Kal Penn made me DVR not only Van Wilder (which also has Ryan Reynolds, om nom nom nom), but Van Wilder 2: The Rise Of Taj. The first one is cute, the 2nd one, meh. Plus, Penn's accent suffers from major slippage.
No, shame, juliana. I watched them both at my sister's this weekend. I like KP. Plus, Ryan Reynolds: His arms make me wibble.
Anyone have the word on G-Force? I feel like I'm going to have to go into that one blind. Owen's dying to see it and he wants a guinea pig.
That talks.
She (Sandra Bullock) has fantastic comedic timing. It's dead on.
Other than one genius line delivery ("what kind of beer?") Kate Hudson's entire career has bored me to tears. With Bullock, there's a sharpness to her; Hudson is like a foamy boring marshmallow.
I think I have seen that? I probably liked it.
There is an extended bit in the middle in which Sandra Bullock ate too much burrito and needs to poo, except their car is stuck in a congested highway. The whole movie is just classy like that. (Haha, how far have we suddenly fallen from the talks of Renoir and Truffaut.) I still love it though. It doesn't help that the other half of the couple is played by Hugh Grant, whom I continue to find reluctantly charming even though he only has one shtick up in his sleeves and is in real life probably an elitist classist layabout without a god-given sense to keep his shortcomings in his pants in a public park.
I remember one day we went to the dollar theatres and saw Bringing Down the House followed by How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I thought the former would suck and the latter would be enjoyable, but it was actually the other way around.
How could you possibly think you'd enjoy a Kate Hudson vehicle over The Queen and The Jerk??!! Blasphemy!
