Last night I watched Legends of the Fall with the commentary on - the director and Brad Pitt. It was pretty interesting.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We're watching The Transporter 3, and Jason Statham just beat up a bunch of guys with his clothes.
I was hoping he'd have to choke a bitch with his pants, but sadly not.

I love Jason Statham entirely too much...and, by extension, the Transporter series. But I have to say, 3 left me cold. Despite that guy from Prison Break, who is awesome.
Though the vanquishing the enemy with your suit jacket is a scene I'm thrilled is included in each movie. So, very cool.
If they make another, I hope they'll spend a teensy bit more time on story and the supporting characters. The love interest in 1 and the kid and the crazy blond chick in 2 and the French cop in both made me _care_ about why the driver is so cool. It's not just the arms and the spectacular driving.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Throughout "The Bank Job" I was bouncing in my seat in the theater wondering where the fight scene(s) would be. I mean, where the fuck are the fight scenes? It takes too long to get there, IMO, but I liked the movie anyway!

Saw the 2nd X-Files movie last night, and it was a great deal of fun. Like a really long, meaty episode. And lots of touches that make complete sense only to long-time fans. I loved that Mulder and Scully were so comfortable together even in a romantic relationship--laughing in bed, making bad jokes, Mulder-Scully pillow talk about toxicology results.
And Skinner! "He won't do anything crazy." And Scully turning to give him the perfect look of "How long have you known us?"

Wow, this review of Inglorious Basterds makes it sound like an incredible film. I might just have to see it, even though I usually find Tarantino films tiresomely self-indulgent.

That's funny Kathy, I just finished reading the one in the New Yorker which eviscerated the movie and Tarantino.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The comments I heard 4 months ago seemed to indicate this is a TERRIBLE movie. However, Bill Maher seemed to think it was really funny.

I think it will probably fall to whether you like Tarantino or not. A good friend of mine gave a review, and she loved it. Thought it was his best since Pulp Fiction. But she likes Tarantino.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I like Tarantino as well, but I preferred Planet Terror to Death Proof and haven't seen Jackie Brown.
