I finally watched Banlieue 13 and it is made of awesome. If you're getting antsy waiting for the next Tony Jaa movie this will help you get your fix. How do you say "man candy" in French?
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
sucrerie d'homme, according to Hyperwords. I'm sure Megan will be along in a moment to give us the non-machine-translation version.

Silly me. I was under the impression Banlieue 13 was an indie feature. I didn't realize it was Luc Besson. of course I loved it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Banlieue 13 requires nothing fancier than "OM NOM NOM."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I got to see Where the Wild Things Are for my birthday!!! (Me, the woman who almost never gets to see a movie in the theater, let alone on opening weekend.) I really loved it.

That's a hard one. "Eye candy" is used without translation, but I can't think of an equivalent for "man candy."
You can always go with the standard "il est canon/craquant" or "c'est une bombe", all of which basically mean "he's hot."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Speaking of, I saw Doomsday last night. I...have not seen a movie with that many decapitations in a while. It's not a very good movie, but Rhona Mitra is pretty badass. In one scene, she takes down an armored gladiator in her civvies! Then later she drives through a bus.

Newsflash: James Cameron is a douchebag.
