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.

The Warner Bros. cartoons suffer from a lack of female characters, with Granny being the sole exception I can think of.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tweety is female, right?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Tweety is female, right?
Nope.
Frankenbuddha is dead on about the Bugs-ness of Clive Owen, though. I like Shoot 'Em Up as long as I remember to turn off my critical-thinking and feminist modules first. Then, it's freakin' AWESOME.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, not really a great movie to be a woman in. But tons of stupid fun.

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

It's completely intentional! He even says, "What's up, Doc?" And he calls himself a wascally wabbit! And then Paul Giamatti says that he's NOT WASCALLY ENOUGH.
HOW DID THEY GET THROUGH THIS MOVIE WITHOUT CRACKING UP? Is there a gag reel? There must be so many takes of Clive Owen not being able to make it through one of his one-liners.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Watching Shoot 'Em Up back-to-back with Children of Men is a real mind-fuck. It's the same actor, with the same plot! Except that one of them is one of the best films of the decade, and the other isn't.

Tom, yes, I was thinking the same thing! It's like he was trying to balance out Children of Men. In one, he protects a baby while never shooting a gun, and in the other, he protects a baby while shooting lots and lots of guns.

Strega, have you seen Shoot 'Em Up ? I think you'd love it since you loved the similarly awesomely ridiculous Crank.
No. I'm aware of it, but I didn't notice it getting the same love it/hate it reactions that Crank did, so it didn't intrigue me as much.
Well, and I haven't been at a friend's place when it was available on cable, which was sorta key for seeing Crank.
