Okay, I hate to do this, but I'm coming up dry on the beta front.
Any Pitch Black fans want to beta a vid for me?
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Oh my Lord, somebody thought it would be a good idea to make a knock-off of Transformers, and Bruce Boxleitner was so desperate for work he said yes!

I looooove Dead Again! I remember seeing it in the theaters with my dad, and we both were huge fans of it. I didn't even get the big connection until that night, when I was washing the dinner dishes and all of the sudden went "ooooh, yeah--her first line after the hypnosis was 'Somebody help me!', and that was Roman's line afte finding his wife's body."

It is actually cool to rewatch when you know the twists, they are actually a number of little references.

Because books.
I remember loving that when it came out, but if I've seen it since, it's been a lonnnnnng time. I should put in the NetFlix queue.
Saw Inglourious Basterds (or however they spelled it) last night, and really loved it. Kill Bill struck me as self-indulgent in the extreme, and I had less fun with Death Proof than I did with Planet Terror (or the trailers, to be honest), so I wasn't in a rush to see it. But I thought it was great, even if it does sort of boil down to revenge fantasy porn.
Also saw Up In the Air today, which was just ... sad in the end, but really well done. The opening, strangely enough, struck me as very Fight Club- esque, with the narration and the lists. Really good performances, but I'm still not exactly sure what you were supposed to take away from it, aside from a sense of melancholy for him.

I saw An Education this afternoon. I quite enjoyed it. Carey Mulligan was great. My friend and I both agreed that her looks and manner reminded us of Katie Holmes, but with better acting skills.

Which is what I did the last time it came up. It was a nice break from my Oscar blitz.

It hadn't occurred to me, but I totally agree.

DEAD AGAIN has one of those great Robin Williams nasty supporting roles. When he's not trying to make everyone love him, he's actually quite a good actor. He was definitely the best thing in THE SECRET AGENT and utterly frightening.
