I still remember the Farscape tracks where Ben Browder kept trying to get his costars to loosen up and give good commentary.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Tragically, my Farscape DVDs have no commentary. I have no idea what's up with that.

I think it was only a couple for the first season or so, and they weren't great, because, again, BB was the only one interesting, and he spent his time cajoling his fellow cast to be more so.
Just watched The Captive because of Ryan Reynolds. Different. In the end disappointing, but that was because there was so much that they didn't delve into or explore more. Too many hinted at things. I can see why most movie characters are rather one-dimensional. Make them too interesting and you end up disappointed when the movie runs out of minutes and you still haven't discovered all. I also think the movie, non-linear as it is, was hurt by not only that, but by the trailer which is clearly a to b to c narrative.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We JUST watched the trailer for that, Juliebird. I had never heard of it before. The trailer didn't appeal to me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Just saw Snowpiercer at home, cuddled on the couch with Hec, and am so glad I didn't see it in a theater (due to low gore tolerance I had my eyes covered for so much of it that if I'd paid for a full-price movie ticket I'd have felt seriously cheated). Such a uniformly terrific cast; between this, Only Lovers Left Alive and Grand Budapest Hotel it feels like this year has been a glorious decadent embarrassment of riches -- from the biggest names down to those I had never seen before and wouldn't know from Adam out of costume, endlessly amazing performances.
As soon as the end credits rolled I ran right here to read everyone else's long-ago whitefont, and then to Rotten Tomatoes to see what the rest of the world thought. The first review I clicked on was so satisfying I almost don't need to read any others -- the reviewer called it "bonkers in the absolute best way possible" and described Swinton's character as apparently having escaped from a Wes Anderson remake of The Hunger Games, possibly the best movie review line of the entire year.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Now I want to see Wes Anderson's version of The Hunger Games.
I also adored Grand Budapest Hotel. I adored Ralph Fiennes through and through, and I loved seeing Willem Dafoe having so much fun playing the villain.

And all three of them had Swinton in them!

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.
So there's supposedly a debate over whether the ending of The Dark Knight Rises is real or a dream, because Nolan, with Bale coming out in favor of the real side. I thought it was pretty clearly meant to be real and the idea that folks thought otherwise perplexes me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, I saw something about that and was confused. It was clearly real. This isn't fucking Inception, people.

The whole movie or just the end?
