I feel ghoulish about this, but I know people can always use a bit of extra money:
If you have Truly Madly Deeply (with Alan Rickman) on DVD, they're selling for a lot right now on eBay.

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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I just saw TFA today. Weirdly, I happen to watch Ex Machina last weekend.
Oscar Isaac and Domhall Gleeson were half the cast in Ex Machina and they were all over this movie.
It was kind of freaky to see them on opposite sides. Both good though.
Unfortunately, I had been spoiled for a couple of things, but I still loved everything about TFA. I hope Rea turns out to be someone new or related to someone far off from the core cast.

This Seth Meyers bit about Boston accents in movies made me giggle: [link]

Went to see Carol yesterday. It was utterly gorgeous, but wee bit too languid for my taste. After I came home, I saw a promo for the movie on TV that called it "The Year's Most Provocative Thriller." What on earth?!

D-do the lesbians plan a heist.

Well, there is a private eye in the movie. But it's not like the lesbians scheme together to pump Coach Taylor full of lead.
I suspect the advertisers don't wanna call it a "lush lesbian romance" because... of America.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
But it's not like the lesbians scheme together to pump Coach Taylor full of lead.
Note that I would totally also watch that movie.

Note to producers: "thriller" does not refer to straight guys being thrilled at the prospect of seeing two women kiss.

Went to see Hail, Caesar! over the weekend, which is super lightweight and meandering, but has some spot-on old Hollywood production numbers. Doesn't really hang together as a film though. Its parts are greater than its sum.
It did introduce me to this excellent young actor I'd never heard of called Alden Ehrenreich (playing a sweet and kinda dopey actor out of his elements), who really holds his own against his famous cast members. Also, Ralph Fiennes should just do nothing but comedy for the rest of his career.

I eyebrow HARD at the inclusion of Knocked Up and putting an Adam Sandler movie in lieu of The Philadelphia Story.

I would only accept its omission if the list maker specifically cited concerns about how all the men in Tracy's life aren't worthy of her, so it's actually a very witty tragedy about her settling.
