I love Zero Effect. Also one of the few movies I enjoyed Ben Stiller in.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I remember really disliking Zero Effect but I can't remember why.
Kim Dickens I mostly know from Deadwood. Where she was wonderful.

Did anyone else see Book of Life? I thought it was pretty cool, what did you think?
We enjoyed it. My friend and I were talking about how even though Joaquin isn't, "Our" hero, and he was backed by the evil guy they didn't make him a villain. Kind of not even an anti-hero. Even though his character was kind of a caricature, you never hated him. Maybe because he never twirled that moustache he was so proud of.

Well, Bill Pullman's Holmes equivalent was a deeply unpleasant character. But that's actually one of the reasons I liked the movie, so there you go.

Oh, and agreed on Dickens in Deadwood. And Treme as well.

In A World: I know there's some meta-commentary about the narrative choices they made, but still, so gross with the misogyny, especially coming from incestuous sources. And I get it, this shit is gross, and what better way to highlight that than to have your dad and one-night stand talking about you like that.
I also think that married fathers who still go "hubba hubba" at younger women in public are gross and shouldn't have daughters. Probably because as a non-parent, I can't see that line between how you'd treat a younger woman and how you'd treat your daughter, and I also can't reconcile how you'd want your daughter to be viewed and treated and how you view and treat other women/girls. /Natter

Hey. New board.
I watched that the other day too! I agree, it's gross, but I thought it did a good job of staying on the "it sucks but this is the world she lives in" side of gross.
I loved the midwestern step-mom/groupie/whatever by the end.
I thought it was a very enjoyable movie.

All Kim Dickens boosters should watch Treme, too.

Tru dat.
And I'm guilty of missing a season and a half, although the season I missed was cut to way fewer episodes. But guilty still. And for some reason this is a show I feel REALLY guilty about missing.
