Ha! It was very easy for me to make friends once I quit the industry [ETA: my very small, little branch]. Being a civilian and not wanting to be part of any scene made me that much more pleasant to have around. At least, that's what I was told.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I didn't even know you were in the industry before!

Yeah, I don't talk about it much. Ancient history and all. And I never wanted to be *that* forty-year old who still thinks she's 20 and lives in the past and talks about coulda shoulda woulda kinda shit. So.
But most of my movie friends came after I was done with that scene, so it's nice. And it's nice catching up with some of them on Facebook after all of these years.

I love A Perfect World. Partly for way Eastwood says "I do like tater tots," but there's other good things about it, too. And Keith Szarabajka!

Everytime I see Push, I think Precious.
If they'd switched plots, Mariah Carey could have saved them a ton in SFX costs for the gang that could make people's ears bleed by screaming.

Because books.
I loved A Perfect World when it came out. I haven't seen it since, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Losers was not a heavily-hyped comic book adaptation for many parsings of that sentence. Where did the promo stuff say it was from a comic?

That looks awesome. I love Luc Besson, and JZ will die from the costuming porn.

Well, he's directed so little this decade, I'm not surprised to see a Besson film do well. There are so few action directors in France.
I really need to get those books.
