Lots of love for that movie from me, too. One of the highest points of Altman's pretty great late period. And a double feature of Gosford Park and The Rules of The Game sounds fucking delightful, Fiona.

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.

Kudos to whoever at TwoP wrote the copy for their Valentine's Day: Who's Slumming, Who's Not? feature. This line completely cracked me up:
It's as intrinsically Julia Roberts as unhinging one's jaw and laughing like Patrick Bateman in all movie trailers.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok. Saw Zombieland last night. IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME.
And I know someone here has the tagline of "FUCK THIS CLOWN!" and I can't remember who.

Taylor Lautner is now officially 18. It isn't illegal to ooooogle him. Though he is going to have to do a new photoshoot since all the ooooogle worthy pictures are from his jailbait years. And that just feels wrong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I had him up on one of my sites for a week before I found out he was a mere child. Not sure how long it will take for there to be legal pics available.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I adore Gosford Park and could watch it multiple times in a row. Every note is perfect, even the awful ones. I always want more like it.

I need some movie ideas for work. We're doing outdoor movie nights on the lawn and TPTB lamely came up with the constrictions of Environmental/Green/Earth-friendly and or animal/nature as well as Family Friendly.
That immediately shot down my suggestion of Grizzly Man.
So unless we want to end up watching Ferngully or Bob the Builder Plants a Garden, or Food, Inc., I need an intervention list.
(And I'd much rather they showed Roman Holiday or The Philadelphia Story.)
My brother had several suggestions, which all failed the family-friendly criteria, amongst which were Biodome and Evolution. I suggested Dinosaurs! with Fred Savage and claymation (that movie rocks!)
I suppose any of the David Attenborough docs would be nice, but I think we want something with a story.
What's the one with the wolves and the guy from Starman where he eats mice?
