Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.
Saw Watchmen this afternoon. I completely cracked up when "The Sound of Silence" started playing, because that identified the one missing thing that would have made the movie a halfway decent one. Did Snyder grab one of the teenage fans off the sidewalk at a Stephenie Meyer book signing and put her in charge of the score?
I will admit that the opening credits were worth the price of admission, though.

The only soundtrack cliche they missed was using "For What It's Worth" for the sixties.
It was by far the stupidest soundtrack I've ever encountered. So thoughtless.
Ok, I haven't even SEEN the movie and that cracked my shit up, Matt!
Saw I Love You, Man this afternoon. Hey, it's funny!
I just saw Let the Right One In. I was very tired and sleepy, and the movie was slow, which was not a good combination. It was kinda fucked-up. But definitely not your typical vampire movie.
There are doves, there's a kidnapping! There's a boat chase! Explosions!
As, I believe, J. Hoberman said (paraphrasing), when John Woo really cuts loose, he risks being called John Woo Woo.
The last Nic Cage movies I had an interest in (and the last one I saw) was ADAPTATION. Which was the last time I saw old-school Nic Cage in a movie, pretty much.

Good, it's on Emmett's must-see list. Though it must be said that he came to his Apatow-bro-comedy preference honestly by first watching all of Freaks and Geeks, then Undeclared.
I'm watching F&G right now...about halfway through.Really relating to Lindsay...well, if you substitute Young Author's Day for Mathaletes.
I enjoyed I Love You, Man as well. It's funny that Apatow apparently had absolutely nothing to do with it, though.

It's within the Apatow Penumbra though just by the pairing of Segal and Rudd.
