THE APPLE exists in a sphere beyond good and bad.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

THE APPLE didn't star SWINTON, by any chance?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
You'll be hypnotized,
And you'll be demonized,
But you'll be paralyzed,
So you can victimize.
You're facinating, captivating, losing your mind
When we cast the apple light on you.
Holy apple
Sacred apple
Take a little chance,
Get into a trance,
And join me in the apple dance.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
They're just little pills. They won't hurt you.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Jess, I'm pretty sure you've never steered me wrong on a recommendation
(Psst! Nobody remind Tep that I love Magnolia, k? I want to keep my record intact...)
Ha! The dreaded Magnolia! As long as Monsters vs. Aliens doesn't feature Julianne Moore screaming "fuck" for 10 minutes, or the entire cast singing along with an Aimee Mann song, I think I'll like it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It had its moments. Jessica is right about the voice acting. After the first 10 minutes you can pretty much guess where the plot's going to go and I found it distracting that the president (voiced by Stephen Colbert) looked a little too much like Ira Glass. But I laughed out loud many times and generally had a good time.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
the entire cast singing along with an Aimee Mann song
You say that like it's a bad thing. Why you hatin' on Aimee Mann?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Saw Knowing.
Had a blast. The creepy was deliciously creepy, the disasters were awe-inspiringly horrific. And Nic Cage wasn't so bad, I thought. The rest was purely delightful hysterics.
The moment that Rose Byrne went into uber-mommmy mode and began to get really annoying (28 Weeks Later levels) I leaned over to my girlfriend and whispered "and this is the point where I'm just waiting for her to die" and I totally missed what must have been a very awesome collision.
Then when the bunnies showed up I began cackling and knee-slapping and left the theatre declaring "They're going to breed! Like rabbits!" And then Adam and Eve go traipsing off towards the Tree of Knowledge. Tra la la.
Good times.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH and I saw Monsters Vs Aliens today and it was great. Really, really fun, great characters, great vocal performances, great animation.
Seriously freakin' awesome! Owen loved it, too.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Saw a good movie on TCM over the weekend--The Scarlet Pimpernel with Leslie Howard and Merle Oberon. I have fond memories of the TV movie with Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour (and looking at that version's IMDB entry, I see that Ian McKellen was Chauvelin!), but had never seen the Howard version. It was really well done, especially the two leads. Oberon was stunningly gorgeous (although the gown she wore for the party was terribly anachronistic for 1792--sleeveless?!?), and Howard was terrific as Percy. He switched between the fop and the Pimpernel with ease, and had a great blending of the two when he spoke with his wife.
