'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
I didn't see any of the Toy Storyses and never can, because my toys are all alive and somewhat put out at having been sitting in my closet all this time.
I am trying to have a discussion on Facebook about the racebending issues on the Last Airbender, but keep getting swept off into other narratives about it, and am now unsettlingly angry. Again.
I did assume they were going to make it - I really didn't think, deep down, that Pixar would end this franchise with "and they all died horribly in a fire, the end" - but the scene JUST KEPT FREAKING GOING and I'll admit to being pretty worried. I mean they kept NOT ESCAPING! AAAAAAA!!!!!!!
But the Deus ex CLAW was pure awesomecakes with awesomesauce.
Though that scene made an interesting narrative/dramatic decision to let the inevitability of their doom go on long enough so that even if I wasn't worried about them, I could feel their despair and then connection in the face of that.
Exactly this, but it made me cry anyway, because I started seeing them as symbols for all the people who've ever faced inevitable horrible death and chosen to face it together.
I watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs with the Zmayhems tonight, and OMG SO AWESOME. Why aren't more people raving about this movie? It's so hilarious and snarky and nerdpower-y. It is the first time I have ever seen a reverse nerdgirl makeover. I boggled at that for like a full minute.
P-C, I watched that recently and loved it. The reverse makeover was awesome!
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!
(ahem)
among the new titles now available on Netflix Instant Watch:
A Room With A View
Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Neat-o! Is that a result of the new deal they've made?
I don't know. I get alerts everytime Netflix adds something to instant watch and I was particularly pleased today.
I'm going to have a good weekend. I just saw A Room With a View - but I guess it is time to see it again!
That's the one with a nice view of DDL's butt, right?
and another man's penis!
