'War Stories'
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.
kick-ass female warriors
Sandahl was pretty kick-ass, I will give you that.
orgies
There were orgies? There was the hilarious sex scene with the Witch.
religious debates
There was no debating! Maybe I slept through that part.
big-assed sword
I've seen bigger.
Conan's good but Red Sonja is awesome!
I wish that were true. But I am so not a fan of the 'gitte.
I tried to see Iron Man II.
The film broke...3 times! I gave up and took the refund and free pass. They have a digital print that they will start showing this weekend. I'll try and see that.
I saw OSS 117: Lost in Rio last night. It's sort of a French Austin Powers, but not so over the top. It could have been spoofier, but the 60s outfits were fab. I had no idea (and was naturally dismayed to learn) that it was a sequel. Of course, I immediately put OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies at the top of my Netflix queue.
In better completist news, it turns out that the European bookstore near me had the missing volume of the Adèle Blanc-Sec series, so I can finally read the next few I ordered.
Also, I'm so excited for Micmacs. It looks just like Délicatessen.

Yeah, from what I've heard he's gone back deep into his stylistic roots.
It looks like he is off the Life of Pi project, which makes me sad.
megan, does Micmacs have any idiomatic meaning in France? It always makes me do a double take because it also was the name of the local aboriginal peoples, until they adopted the more traditional pronunciation and spelling of Mi'kmaq.

That's where I went with it originally as well, as it's a "Micmac burial ground" that is the source of the trouble in Pet Sematary.
