I think Cameron ended up working for the mayor of NY.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Heh.

Yay for Simon Pegg and Karl Urban!! I was really pleased to see Urban get cast in this role, since he was only getting cheesy action films and/or baddie roles in better movies since Two Towers. Here's hoping he'll start getting some more substantial roles soon.
So much word. I couldn't even get through ten minutes of Pathfinder even though he's half-naked throughout. I did enjoy his character in Riddick, though.
Friend in college introduced me to Run Lola Run and Franka Potente, and I also really really loved The Princess and the Warrior.
Hated FBDO the first time I saw it, didn't get the fuss. I have since warmed to it, but Ferris does make me feel like hyperventilating with his jackassery at points. Don't love it, but can enjoy it distractedly if it's on.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think I'll watch FBDO again someday, just for all the Chicago stuff.

I love FBDO. It's a lovely tribute to Chicago in particular, and throughthat, to the joys of city living. Ballgames, skyscrapers, parades, art museums, fancy restaurants--all of them to be enjoyed.

The Chicago aspects of FBDO are the things that stuck with me afterwards. That and "Bueller? Bueller?"
Other good show-off-Chicago movies: Blues Brothers, The Fugitive, Blink, and Adventures in Babysitting. Any other suggestions?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Anyone seeing Battle for Terra? Owen's dying to see it but I am dubious.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I also really really loved The Princess and the Warrior.
Oh I did too. I was haunted by that film. Afterward, I just ruminated on it for a few hours.

It's on my DVR, waiting to be watched one day.
