Kaylee ,'Out Of Gas'
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.
Reading the wikipedia entry really made me appreciate what a fantastic job Hanson and Helgeland did on the script.
Seriously. DId that script win the Oscar that year? Because it totally should have.
ETA: It did!

The script and Kim Basinger were, I think, the only things that did win Oscars. It was Titanic's year.
I'm still bitter.
Just back from Hot Tub Time Machine. It was intensely stupid, but also hilarious, as one would expect from the title. Did we know Christophe Beck was scoring this?
Has anyone here seen The Class? It was one of our movies this week. I absolutely loved it.
Also saw The Appeared and The Soloist. Both were ok, however one got better, the other...did not. I will leave you to ponder which is which.
Has anyone here seen The Class?
Is it French ?
It is French and it is divine.
What java said.
Oh okay, I've seen that (and liked it very much). The teacher is basically playing himself--he's a former teacher and the movie is based on his novel.
I found it rather painful, especially when my dad, afterwards, said "I hope your students act better than that!" to which I could only reply: "Oh, mine are WAY worse."
It may have been part of my decision to leave urban public schools.
It was a good movie, though.
