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.

They should've made that the second sequel. The Day After Tomorrow 3 Hours Behind.

Has anyone seen the new movie out where The Rock fights an earthquake?

No, but Anthony Lane's review in the New Yorker is pretty funny.

I cannot bring myself to watch that movie. Especially since from what I understand, the Rock's character, a SAR specialist, ignores all the thousands of people at risk around him and spends the whole movie only focused on rescuing his own family members.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I won't be watching San Andreas either, because the production team was uniformly horrible to the extras (many of whom are my friends).

Seriously? that's stupid. And rude of them.

What's that saying about how you know the measure of a person by how they treat people below them on the social ladder?

Just back from Spy. It takes a while to get going but was very enjoyable with many laugh points.

Has anyone seen the new movie out where The Rock fights an earthquake?

I did. I was troubled by the same thing as Consuela, particularly because after the initial quake the Rock and Ms. the Rock heard from their daughter and knew she was safe. They were not genre savvy enough to know that she was going to be hit with one perilous situation after another over the next few hours and need rescuing. The Rock should have dropped his wife off somewhere safe and joined in with the first responders in LA, where there were more than enough people in need of rescue to keep him busy.

I did absolutely love the moment when Ms. the Rock left her (ex)boyfriend the message that if he wasn't already dead she was going to kill him for abandoning her daughter.

I'm sorry to report I was rather disappointed by Inside Out. It was just too damn sad. Also, if you have a fear of heights or clowns, potentially fucking terrifying. At least Lava (the Pixar short) was adorable?

Thank you for the phobia warning. The latter thing you mentioned isn't as mind-numbingly terrifying to me as jillifonts, but I damn sure don't like them.

I don't have the latter issue, but there were parts I couldn't watch because of heights. And there are multiple instances. I thought that the trailer for THE WALK was difficult, but this was so much worse.

Yeah, the trailer to The Walk nearly made me vomit and I don't do that.
