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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Devil only invites the really evil people to dinner?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
OMG, Fri., Sat. & Mon. the Brattle theater is showing that film House that was discussed months back. The one with the carnivorous piano. I may have to catch that.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I kind of get having a pen name in a way, though I won't, because it defeats my secondary goal of telling my high school guidance counselor to suck it, but "Diablo Cody" *is* a bit Much. I mean, I just couldn't imagine having my little meetings over lunch with Ari and them and being "Hi, I'm Diablo." I mean, it probably helps that she's not from L.A. and maybe less likely to run into someone from high school who knows her as Karen or whatever name her parents gave her, but still.

So this probably won't be playing anywhere most of you can see it, but there is a Paul Gross movie coming out this Friday in Canada, called Gunless.
It's a comedy western, with Paul Gross as an American outlaw ending up in a small Canadian town, and being confounded by politeness when trying to get into a gun fight. I also spotted CKR in the trailer.
I thought it worth mentioning here because, Paul Gross arms! Which, according to one scene in the trailer, look very fine indeed.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I have a friend who got to go to the premiere of that last night!

Fun! When I first saw the posters, I didn't even recognize Paul Gross, but the trailers look amusing anyway.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
but "Diablo Cody" *is* a bit Much.
Huh. It never even occurred to me that it might be a pen name. I know so many people whose actual names are so much less plausible. I mean, now that I think of it, sure, what parent would name their infant girl Diablo? And yet, I grew up with people sincerely and unironically named Aragorn and Arwen and Fritha Nicoletta.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not her real name?
I am in no place to judge.
Okay, sometimes I judge. That time never occurred to me.

Because books.
I think her name is Brooke Burns or something.
