Heh. billytea is maybe not Tom of Finland's target audience.
And why *is* Finland so cool?

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I wanna see a fight between Tom of Finland and Tom's of Maine.
You might think Tom of Finland would kick Maine's ass, but leathermen can often be wusses... Plus Maine can threaten to scuff up Finland's leather with his toothpaste.

It's the leather jackets. Just ask Danny Zuko or Fonzie.

Because Tom is there. And Linux came from there. And they drink vodka by the case.
Really, that's all you need.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

At the theater today they had a preview for The Spirit, and every time The Octopus says "I have eight of everything," I snicker to myself and say, "Really? Eight? Of *every* thing? Going five up on Hell Comes to Frogtown ?"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Were you in a second-run theatre or did someone forget to change out the trailers?

Sorry, yes, the dollar theatre. We went to see Twilight. And I kind of liked Twilight. I know this means my cinematic taste aren't very sophisticated, but I've always known that, to me, any movie can be improved with things blowing up. A chick flick is one in which the woman is using a weapon at some point in the proceedings.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I liked Judge Dredd.
There. I said it.

Ouch. Send in the clones? Really?
Anyway, saw WATCHMEN. It was a lot of movie, and that's not necessarily a good thing. Bits of it keep rattling around in my head though, so that's a sign I need to contemplate more (or Moore).
I keep whiplashing between the too-on-the-nose or just-plain-too-much parts and the part where I said - huh, that's a pretty good choice there.
I will say the most personally distracting thing was that since I'd read a critic comparing the actor who played Veidt to Dana Carvey, I couldn't NOT see him that way, down to the "Hans und Franz" accent. By comparison, Jeffery Dean Morgan's resemblance to Robert Downey, Jr. didn't hurt at all, mostly because I think RD,J could have played the part pretty well too.
