Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
(Which is to say, thank GOD there is another person out there who doesn't get Bull Durham. I mean, it was...fine? I guess?)

Yay! I feel EXACTLY THE SAME!
Rewatched WYN. Damn, the eyelash game was distractingly strong in that one. Plus, I still feel I am correct about Colin serving the Manic Pixie Dream Girl role.
And all the other stuff. Natch.
I love What's Your Number! Colin is a total MPDG, and Chris Pratt's role gives me joy. And I find Bull Durham to be eminently quotable, but only watchable in fits & starts.
I am not Judd Apatow's target audience, so I have no commentary on Trainwreck. I got through about a third of This Is 40 before giving up in disgust.
ION, I hope Keanu Reeves has a cameo in Key & Peele's Keanu. It looks silly & like an extended sketch, but also adorable.
Here's a great article (? essay?) piece about Melissa McCarthy: [link]
I have never seen Bull Durham. I feel completely comfortable with this as a life choice.
I enjoyed certain parts of Trainwreck, but then again I enjoy a good rom com. Tilda Swinton was everything in that movie!
I am on pins and needles waiting for Keanu. I heart Key & Peele. I miss their show like every day. I will be miffed if Keanu doesn't make a cameo at least. Missed opportunity.
I liked Trainwreck very much but not nearly as much as Spy. Most things I didn't like about Trainwreck are directly related to its Apatow-ness not its Schumer-ness. And LeBron was hilarious.
Go Melissa McCarthy!
I am a Bull Durham fan, although I admit I might find the depiction of the life of a lit professor a bit more suspect if I ever tried rewatching it. It may help that I'm a bigger fan of both Sarandon and Robbins than I am of baseball. Haven't seen either Trainwreck of What's Your Number? but I'd be up for both of them. I have a soft spot for rom coms.
And I do want to see Keanu because Key & Peele & kitten! But I am a bit leery. I kinda love the first bit and I'm worried I won't love the rest of the movie quite as much.
I have never seen Bull Durham! I don't like baseball much and not a huge fan of ....Kevin Costner? So I just dont 'watch it.
I am also "meh" on Bull Durham. Don't like baseball.
I am stupidly excited about Keanu! I think have rewound and watched every trailer I've stumbled across (and there have been A LOT!)
I'm not fond of baseball either, but it makes the best sports movies.
