But at least he knows he is, which somehow helps, although I'm not sure why. Bullock has had some hits and misses with me although I did like that one and "28 Days", in which Dominic West, well, plays the guy he usually does, without the whole "decent guy in there *somewhere*" thing, but with the voice he was born with.ETA: And I'm twisted enough to be amused by the thought of a Rehab Romcom, anyway.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

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.

The whole movie is just classy like that. (Haha, how far have we suddenly fallen from the talks of Renoir and Truffaut.)
I would like to say for the record that I love Renoir. And Truffaut. And, yet, also? Year of the Comet. That's right I said it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That movie appears to be about a balls-out hunt for...a bottle of wine?

I do, but I don't drink wine.

It was written by William Goldman, but that's probably the best that can be said about it. That, and the presence of Louis Jourdan.

Our wings are not tired.
William Goldman's book "Adventures in the Screen Trade" is one of my favorite inside-Hollywood books. A very entertaining chap.

Yup! And doctored who-knows-how-many? scripts. Rumor has it that he wrote 80% of Good Will Hunting.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
You don't want to know how often I have watched Two Weeks Notice, which is my favourite of the Bullock rom-com oeuvre.
Anytime you want to come over and watch it one more time, Vonnie, there's space on our couch. Provided Hec is out of town.
