Finally saw Avatar. The effects were good. But I'm pretty meh on the whole thing.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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 film clip is probably the gayest non-gay thing I've ever seen, and I say that with all love. And slack-jawed admiration.
I realized, seeing the commercial for The A-Team movie tonight, that I am totally going to see it, simply because Bradley Cooper is in it.
There are worse reasons to see a movie.
The other day I made CJ wastch an episode of the A-Team on tv so that when we do go see the movie, he will have a clue. He seemed to enjoy it.
Chicago Magazine Names Top 40 Movies Filmed In Chicago (PHOTOS)
High Fidelity was #1.
It's a rich, textured movie that--like your favorite LP--only gets better with time. It defines Chicago as a city of doers, dreamers, and slackers--a real place for real lives.
I'm going to make my list before I click through but I'm not sure I can name 40.
I like that the list mentions Cooley High, a movie that isn't remembered much today but it really is a good film.
I've seen most of them...not that one, though. I'd blame my dad being from Joliet, but I'd bet a billion dollars we didn't watch "About Last Night" together. Phoenix has the most transplanted Chicagoans of any city, though.
Man I suck. I can't even think of ten unless I count Rudy (Glen Ellyn) and that terrible Keanu Reeves movie filmed at Argon labs.
...after checking the list... I haven't seen a lot of those and forgot some were filmed in Chicago but I'm a real doofus for forgetting Barbershop considering I can see my copy from where I'm sitting.
They neglected What Women Want. Not a great movie but surely better than Candyman with some great Chicago footage.
