'Destiny'
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.
On P-C's rec, I watched Josie & the Pussycats today. That was way better than it deserved to be.
Right?? Glad you liked it too!
Although the "ironic" product placement was a bit much.
The funny part is that they didn't actually receive any money for any of it. They did it For the Irony.
Bonus: It passes the Bechdel Rule!
With flying colors!
I love that the prefab boy band is named Du Jour.
"Du Jour means family!"
Josie and the Pussycats is phenomenal. I watched it thrice in a row my first time.
I also love Return to Oz, though I think neither it nor the Garland affair really capture the spirit of the books very well. But that's okay by me, because despite loving the world and story, the tone of the Oz books never worked for me.
I agree that Sam Raimi is probably a bad choice for an Oz movie though. I don't think he'll maintain a very good balance of happy and creepy.
Toy Story 3 only just barely passes the Beschdel test, but is pretty damn awesome all the same.
Without spoiling too much, I will say only one thing: Buzz Lightyear has a Spanish mode.
Que? Demasiado!
Buzz Lightyear has a Spanish mode.
Oh, that explains the picture I saw. Heh.
I've seen that in a clip on Hulu. HYlarious.
Monsters, Inc. 2 set for release in 2012.
HURRAY!!
And Josie and the Pussycats should be required viewing, I love it that much. The soundtrack is awesome and was the first thing I played in my BRAND NEW FOCUS when I bought it long ago. It was the movie I watched with my girlfriends the night before my surgery last year, too. It is amazing and awesome.
"Du Jour means family!"
DuJour means hygiene!
Du Jour means seatbelts!
In fact, the new Buzz Lightyear toys have both Spanish and English phrases programmed in.
It passes the Bechdel Rule!
I don't get what the big deal about Bechdel is. I mean, I'm the only woman I know...the only one at work, or here, or in this movie we call Life.
And on the rare occasion when another woman shows up, IF I talk to her, it's only about guys. Or a guy.
I think people need to realize how hard it is to pick out which man is the "star" in order to talk about him. When you're the only woman, there's a lot of possible protagonists to talk about.
