Tivo set!
I'm surprised that no one's posted about Fantastic Mr. Fox. I saw it Thanksgiving day and loved it! The detail was remarkable, the voice performances excellent, and the story was strong with a satisfying but not-too-cloyingly-sweet ending.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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 haven't seen it yet, but I really want to. However, I need to see Where the Wild Things Are first, since it will be gone from theaters shortly.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Chiming in way late on worst moviegoing experience...
Congo. Tod's sitting on the left, Dave's in the middle, I'm on the right. It is awful. I turn to Dave and whisper, "this is terrible, let's go." Dave turns to Tod & then back to me, "Tod likes it, he wants to stay." In pain I sit through the whole thing and then, walking out, I turn on Tod, "I can't believe you liked it!" "Like it? I told Dave I wanted to walk out!"

Thanks, Hec! I would have been sad to miss that.

Profit minus American Psycho equals Batman!
Hee! Of course, I've never seen Profit, but I still like this equasion. But then, I believe in my heart that Bruce Wayne is Patrick Bateman. They sound the same! They have the same surface charm!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never seen Profit

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
See Profit before you get spoiled!
