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.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

While You Were Sleeping is still one my fave Bullock movies.
The Proposal was enjoyable, but it was also like a reverse Two Weeks Notice.
I'm not complaining, because RYAN REYNOLDS.

Early Malle is fun. Jazz! Jeanne Moreau! Zazie!
One of our local indie theaters was showing Elevator to the Gallows recently, and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I think at least a third of the movie is just Jeanne Moreau walking the rain-drenched streets of Paris while Miles Davis's soundtrack wails and lights flicker on the empty buildings. Which other Malle movies should I see now?

If you liked Elevator to the Gallows, you'd probably like Les Amants (in English, The Lovers I presume), a very different film, but also with Jeanne Moreau. It actually has a bit of a Renoir vibe.
Zazie dans le métro is like a Surréalist version of a Keystone cops film. I'm not a fan of the movie myself, but he did a good job of adapting a seemingly unadaptable book.

Hey now! I was watching Sandra Bullock back when she was the wacky comic relief friend in The Thing Called Love.
Which other Malle movies should I see now?
I love Zazie Dans Le Metro, which is his homage to early, anarchic comedy. Lots of directors in the sixties tried their hand at Marx Bros. / Keystone Kops stuff, but only Malle got it right.
I also like Murmur of the Heart though it does have a wee bit of disturbing incest.

I'm watching Fireflies in the Garden, and there's a young Hayden Panettiere, and my first thought was "Wow, real hair!"

TiVo taped "Caddyshack" and "Grease." So of course I'm obligated to watch.
I have seen "Grease" maybe 13-15 times, and here I'm watching it again.
And singing along.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
The Thing Called Love.
THAT is a very enjoyable movie. As is While You Were Sleeping.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I love While You Were Sleeping! I am going to see Bill Pullman onstage (Yay!) in Oleanna (Boo!) this weekend. Or is it Bill Paxton who was in that film--I always get them confused.
