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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ann, that's a ferret.
I haven't seen any of Michael Moore's movies, but from what I've heard, I think the minimum of difference between him and Glenn Beck is that Moore takes on genuine issues. I'll let others debate how effective his movies are, but, for example, Roger and Me took on the legitimate issue of the effect of shutting down auto plants on Midwestern Rust Belt cities. I can't see Glenn Beck addressing so substantive an issue.

Always Anti-fascist!
Roger and Me, in particular, is understated compared to what we later come to expect. He makes me think, though, even if I don't think he's a hundred percent right.

Our wings are not tired.
Fred, that's a good point.

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

Huh, I didn't know they were making a movie of Never Let Me Go. I was sort of meh on the book, but with Mark Romanek, Keira Knightley, and Carey Mulligan, I'm interested in the movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wait, there's a movie with "Stallone, Statham, Lundgren... Even Schwarzenegger and Willis"???? That may be too much.
That list has a whole lot of genre in it. Felt like way over half. And I refuse to believe that a year can be defined by almost one movie a week.

And Mikey Rourke! And Jet Li! And Charisma Carpenter as Statham's girlfriend! And more!
Assuming you mean The Expendables, because I'm too lazy to click through right now. But there can't really be TWO movies with that cast, right?

This seems like a movie where any time the characters punch anything, it explodes.

Jet Li? For him I might see a movie with Willis and Stallone and Schwarzenegger. For Statham I might see a movie with Charisma Carpenter and Mickey Rourke.
