Dawn ,'Selfless'
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.
A bunch of people on Twitter are doing twisted Netflix recommendations (#netflixfkdup), with gems like:
"If you liked TOOTSIE, you'll love BOYS DON'T CRY." - @wordwill
"If you liked NATIONAL LAMPOON'S EUROPEAN VACATION, you'll love HOSTEL." - @raven1967
Because I need to know everything about Old Boy and I've never seen Castaway, I need this one explained for me:
"If you liked CASTAWAY, you'll love OLD BOY!" - @jonrog1

On a desert island for many years vs. locked in a room for many years.
Aha. I was focussing on the many other (distracting) aspects of Old Boy and missing the most obvious one of Castaway.
A nice interview with Daniel Radcliff: [link]
He seems like such a nice kid. And the stuff he said about Guy Ritchie and Madonna is hilarious. (Also, poor Emma!)
I am sure this will get lost in all the HP5 excitemnt (which I completely share), but I wanted to say that I went to a screening of Julie & Julia last night. I expected to love meryl Streep and hate the film, since it was a Nora Ephron Joint.
OF COURSE I loved Streep, but I actually liked the film very much as well. The story is formulaic, but it's well cast and well-acted and so so so gorgeous. It was really nice to see a marriage portrayed onscreen which is loving passionate, respectful and fun.

Oh cool! I loved the book (and LOVE LOVE LOVE Julia Child) so I was hoping it would be good.
Yay for good Julie and Julia!! We have a Julia Child display near the register at the bookstore, and there were so many women looking at the books last Saturday. Every single one of them knew about the movie coming out and everyone was looking forward to it.
I haven't read the book, but I followed the blog from the beginning and am really looking forward to the movie (probably on DVD, since I'll be on vacation when it comes out).
A trailer for Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monster

Every time I see the trailer the little bit of Meryl Streep as Julia we get to see makes me want to marry her.
