That's an astoundingly boneheaded write-up of Straw Dogs.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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.

American Psycho is the reason I will never be able to hear "Hip to be Square" without cackling loudly for the rest of my life.

Yeah, I saw American Psycho during my Christian Bale mini-film festival at some point last year. It's not a great movie but it has a good number of fantastic moments. ita, it's more akin to Profit than the other movies on that list. Y'know, if Profit didn't always have a plan.
Oooh, I've just realized that Profit minus American Psycho equals Batman!

Profit is the plan. It's Phase 3.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ha!
I'll put it back on my list. Did you also see The Machinist? I hear he's doing another weight loss gig.

Huh, apparently, in San Francisco, it is illegal to buy or have in one’s possession a BB gun. So I guess my SIL will have to buy my brother's Christmas present for me.

I'm pretty sure you can get it in the East Bay or Daly City. I know I've seen pellet guns at Sporting Good stores in El Cerrito.

Oh yeah, it's just SF, where apparently BB guns are more illegal than real guns.
Of course, as an SF resident, it's still illegal for me to buy one.
Since I was mailing it directly to SIL anyway, I'm just going to have her order it and send a check.

You could legally have bought and mailed it outside SF, right?
