You know, that sounds like Holmes, too.
You are not wrong Erika. And I hadn't even thought of it that way. I do suspect that RD,J tends to get back into drugs when he's bored, much like Holmes.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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.

That was such a nice thing for me to say. I don't really wish he'd die, it would just make my decision easier. And it's all about us, right?
I hear you. And then I start to think about all the shit he dealt with as a child. And then got to the "promised" land of Hollywood. And then had what had happened happen again in a bizarro form. And it is no way an excuse, but that has to fuck you up.
Couple that with Hollywood where, as long as you were somewhat discreet, you could get away with anything from way back in the day, and then fast forward to 70's Hollywood, and all the new, exciting drugs that were around. I mean, Charlie Chaplin had the same thing for young girls; we just don't know if there's anything as ugly as Polanski did on record.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I don't even know what I think about Imaginarium.
I will say that Terry's wonderful visual style is watered down by CGI.
And all that meta hype is horribly misdirecting about who the focus of the movie is on --although first thirty or forty minutes sans Heath is a big clue, but that was thirty or forty minutes I was all "so, where's the lead?" before I realized that his role (flashy! hype! hype!) wasn't that important. And that's important I think, in order to stomach the end.

Our wings are not tired.
I know he had a rotten childhood. It doesn't mean that as an adult he gets to terrorize children in return.
And I don't mean to re-hash that discussion here, as I know it was played out when he was arrested in Switzerland.
But knowing how I feel about him, the next level is whether or not to see a movie he's made.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We finally watched Let the Right One In. Am I to understand that Eli's "father" started out as her boyfriend like Oscar?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That's one interpretation. But not what happened in the book.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Am I wrong in seeing a similarity in The Informant! and American Psycho?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Scola, really? Seems like a joke.
