It gives me claustrophobia. It's dark and cluttered and everyone is sad and crazy.
And I wanted to live in that world. Probably why I moved to San Francisco.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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.

Yeah, I can't imagine wanting to live there.
Speaking of sad and crazy, I finally watched Let the Right One In. I chose the English subtitles and they seemed fine. Afterwards, I saw the examples on the web and, as someone who has seen hundreds of foreign films with subtitles, I don't see what the fuss is about.

And you'd lived in Boston, David? Which part was missing from that combo, in your opinion?

Bladerunner is on. What a depressing movie.
I thought the movie was depressing until I read the book. Electric Sheep made me want to open a vein. For reals.

Me, too, bonny!
I thought it was interesting that BBCA chose to broadcast the theatrical release instead of the later Director's cut.

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

ita,
I appreciate the link, but after they fucked up so badly with the 6th HP movie, I feel a lot of trepidation with the conclusion of the series. I don't know how they are going to fix the problems that the 6th movie introduced.
at least I know they didn't change the ending.

I didn't even remember there were 6 movies. I am so out of it. I'm pretty sure I only skipped #2. Maybe #3. I'm a bad, bad fan.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I watched In Bruges and The Witches this weekend, thanks to the magic of...well, not Netflix.
Enjoyed both so much. The Witches with Anjellica Houston was really cool.
