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.
He claims this is so the monsters don't steal them.
Smart!
I don't actually have any of my stuffed toys from my early childhood. Gunderson and Murphy (both bears from Gund) joined the family when I was 9 and 10.
Clovis and Prudence spend each night sitting behind my pillow, watching over me, and the squashy sleeping companion is selcted each night by a highly scientific process of whichever one seems like the "right" one.
Sigh. It's hard to be an animist.
WORD.
Huh, I don't know if my parents still have my original much-worn teddy bear or not. By the time I was in school I'd plucked it bald, the stomach had to be patched up, and the head was at definite risk of decapitation.
bt - have you gotten "Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed" by Mo Willems yet??
You know, I think the answer is yes, but I don't know where it's hiding right now. I do have "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus", words I live by.
The Vatican declares The Blues Brothers a "Catholic classic film" alongside The Ten Commandments and The Passion of the Christ:
L'Osservatore editor Gian Maria Vian praised the flick for its plot, in which Jake Blues (Belushi) and his brother Elwood (Aykroyd) battle cops, neo-Nazis and crazed country fans in a bid to save the Catholic orphanage where they were raised.
"For them, this Catholic institution is their only family," Vian wrote. "And they decide to save it at any cost."
L'Osservatore's editorial lavishes praise on the 1980 comic romp, in which Aykroyd and Belushi say that they're "on a mission from God." The writers call it "incredibly shrewd" noting that in one scene a picture of Pope John Paul II could clearly be seen.
7 kids of which I am the 3rd, 11 moves during our childhoods...the only playthings left from my childhood are my sisters and brother.
mac won't tell me the end of TS3, so I asked uncle gary. aye shi wah wah. why are so many kids' movies these like razor pointed triggers for adoption issues?
Eh, they just want to keep your ninja-like emotional outpouring coping skillz wicked shaaaaap.
I don't have that much devotion to the original, but I have watched it all fairly recently, and bwhuhuh? Also, why? No, this is not your father's Green Hornet. And casting Seth Rogen was just the first tip. I liked him when he was suave and what passed for cheesy dark. This?
Rental.
I dig the trailer, it looks like a fun movie, but it does beg the question:
What the fuck does Kato need the Green Hornet for? Kato builds all the stuff, drives all the time, and kicks all the ass. What does the Hornet, you know...do?!

Yeah, that was bugging me.
People know about the Batman / Green Hornet crossover TV show during the '60s, right? Bruce Lee (playing Kato) was mad that he was supposed to lose in a fight with Robin. They ended up changing to to a draw.
