It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and my most recent explanation is that I consider myself a sentient non-human.

::therapist nod::

Mmmmhmmmm. But note that it's specifically in relation to women.

(I'm not being particularly serious here! I'm not that obnoxious. Every writer has his own pet themes they play with.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

But note that it's specifically in relation to women.

Well I do like women. I would like to have a sentient non-human relationship with a woman. Wait.

Every writer has his own pet themes they play with.

Writer brain is weird!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You realize what that means, of course.

He's writing Doctor Who fanfic?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Saw I Age of Ultron over the weekend. Satisfying 2+-hour ride that would probably fall apart if I looked at it too closely, so I won't. Although my favorite line was the exchange between Ironman and off-screen voice: "Good talk." "No, it wasn't."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My favorite was Cap's "Then we'll do that together, too." I got chills.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sady Doyle may have convinced me to hate Age of Ultron: [link]

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I dunno, I'm only at the point in her piece where she says Thor is a bad movie, and for that I'm giving her the side-eye HARD. But I'll read on...

Oh yeah, I totally disregarded that point and basically skimmed the article, but it seemed compelling!
