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.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
THAT is a very enjoyable movie. As is While You Were Sleeping.
"You could've had me for a song." Take that Dermot McDermott boyfriend guy!

Chiming in late, and out of lurkdom, to say - if you want a really good Truffaut film try Two English Girls. It's dark and sad and lovely. The story is a lot like Jules et Jim (and it was also based on a book by Henri-Pierre Roché) but it's much better and more grown up.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Fireflies in the Garden, watch for the Ryan Reynolds, rewatch to see RR throwing small children around and telling them "Whatever" and "I could totally kick your ass, it's not even funny".

Art Crawl!!!
Bill Nighy is joining the cast of the next HP movie.
Leaky Cauldron speculates he will play veteran Auror Rufus Scrimgeour; "I don't think I'm allowed to say it, but I'm going to be in the next Harry Potter film," Nighy told the newspaper. "I won't say which character, but he's a goodie. I just got the gig."
(Other casting spoiler - for a tv show at link.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Nice viewing there. I can't believe you didn't succumb to watching everything.
Mirror, Mirror - Kirk, Scotty, McCoy, and Uhura end up in a parallel universe. Evil Spock! Evil Sulu! Evil Chekov! Spock's evil goatee was not as evil as I expected, sadly, but Evil Scarface Sulu was pretty awesome. And Marlena was pretty hot. Oh, and Uhura got to be badass! A-
I think the interesting thing in this episode was that Alterna!Spock wasn't really any different. And that the Vulcans would concede it was logical to fall in with the dominant power at the time instead of rebelling.
However, this 'verse gets REALLY interesting during DS9. Nana Visitor blows everybody else out of the water in terms of who played an evil version of themselves.
Also, in retrospect, it's really interesting to note that A) Odo was also close to the being exactly the same on the other side, much like Spock, and B) NV's alternate was highly offended by his death (given their "our 'verse" eventual romance).

Well, I have, just not in a mainlining fashion. I wanted to get through all the good and important episodes first so I could grok the discussions. Now I can watch all the others at my leisure.
