The most surreal moment in the Straight Story is the opening credits: Walt Disney presents...A David Lynch Film. Castle logo and everything.
I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If I watch UP again I'll be fast forwarding through the opening montage. It makes me weep!

My Type-A husband was a complete "I don't watch TV, it's beneath me" most of our married life, and he was only interested in movies with Willis, Eastwood, Ford, or Tommy Lee Jones in the cast or "blows shit up" in the blurb.
There's something very beautiful and hilarious in that.
My favorite David Lynch movie is probably the one that's now by Alan Smithee. In my defense, it's more the events of seeing the movie than the movie itself.
(Ah, Dune.)

Just reading an online plot description of Toy Story 3 made me tear up. To the point where I go all flaily hands weepy whenever the trailer comes on.
This movie is going to wreck me, isn't it? I am going to have to take Clovis with me and a lot of tissues.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
For you or Clovis?

Has anyone else seen Christopher Nolan's first movie, Following ? It's pretty good, if you're into non-linear neo-noir.

Yes, I enjoyed Following although I kept expecting something more profound to happen.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agree with Laga. I saw that movie right after seeing Memento so the influences on the latter were pretty clear to me.

Me. Devilbunnies don't cry. They just make squeaky noises of dismay. Not to mention Clovis would get very cross with me if I made his ears all damp.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
