Rewatching The Fall. My love just grows. And now the end that usually ticks me off I finally get. Where before I viewed it as a horrific testimony to the f***ed up things stunt people did back in the day as compared to now and therefore was completely not in keeping with the rest of the story, I suddenly realized that it was about Alexandria's imagination and the power of that and that, whatever happened to Roy, in her eyes, he lived on forever in her eyes. Every stuntman was him, walking, standing, climbing, jumping and falling. The control she took over his story that finally gave him a reason to live, gave him the ability to heal and walk. Even if it isn't true, it's her story now.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Rewatching Inglourious Basterds I just caught that the basterds' seats at the premiere are Tarantino's usual seats at the Cinerama Dome (Row CC).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok. Just saw The Princess and the Frog tonight. I sobbed. It was awesome.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I saw The Young Victoria. It was a lush Masterpiece Theatre movie. And I've seen other films that cover the same territory, but it was still pretty and full of familiar British actors.

I bit the bullet and saw Valentine's Day today since I was desperate to get out and see an upbeat movie after an 85 hour workweek and catching part of a Queen latifah movie last night made me choose it over that Percy Jackson movie. To my surprise it was mostly enjoyable, Ashton Kutcher and Jamie Foxx didn't make me want to kill them for most of their screentime and Julia Roberts was watchable.
I had thought that the review slamming Taylor Swift had to be hyperbole, but HMOG she was by far the worst actor in a movie that featured Kutcher, Jessica Alba, numerous gradeschool kids, and Eric Dane.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just saw Moon. It was pretty good, but not as completely amazing as I expected from the hype. Sam Rockwell, however, is awesome. It wasn't for a long while that I consciously realized that he was giving two completely different, believable, and ultimately sympathetic performances for the same character in the same movie. That's something.

Because books.
We just watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night. It was cute, but my favorite part was by far the Dracula puppet musical.
