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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Isn't he Zeus in the new Clash of the Titans?

Bob Hoskins and Mark Sheppard (ok, this one is totally cheating)
What is this one and why is it cheating? Did Sheppard play a younger version of the same character as Hoskins in the same movie?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Isn't he Zeus in the new Clash of the Titans?
That's Liam Neeson.

Ooo. Nice to see The Hurt Locker get so much love. I didn't think Jeremy Renner would get a nod, though he totally deserves it.
