Good to know, Dana! I thought it looked good, and I can always use more Timothy Olyphant in my life.
I love Unforgiven, Sean. I watched it yesterday, too. Really a masterpiece, I think.

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.

The news was much worse for The Last Airbender, which fell off an astonishing 57.5% from its opening week, taking $17.1 million for fifth and likely dashing any plans to continue the trilogy.
Oh, darn.
The Kids Are All Right, which posted an absurd $72,143 per screen on seven screens and positioned itself as 2010’s first Oscar contender.
Wow. I've heard nothing but good things about this film.

Oh, darn.
Seeing as I got more entertainment from Eclipse than TLA, I'm not surprised. Ok, most of my entertainment came from sparkly vampire mocking fodder, but still. It is so disappointing though because there was SO MUCH that could have been done to make it fantastic.

I'm debating whether I want to risk seeing Vampires Suck next month. (It's the spoof of the Twilight movies made by the parties responsible for Date Movie, Epic Movie, etc.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Why are you even considering it??

I don't know. I should probably just let Firelight fill the need for that sort of spoof.

I hated L'auberge Espagnole.
People who liked it, why did you? I thought it was mean people being mean.
Raq, I am SO with you. (I also misheard the title originally and thought it was about an eggplant.)
I disliked L'Auberge Espagnole only slightly less than Y Tu Mama Overhyped Crapfest Tambien.
And in much much MUCH less highbrow cinematic pursuits, we watched a handful of DVDs at the beach last week, including Cars (which managed to make me like whatshisname, the Tow Mater guy), Waking Ned Devine (which is full of plot holes and some really unlikeable moments and yet was still really charming), The Legend of 1900 (which made me want to punch the TV at the end, but does have a couple of amazing scenes that were worth it), and a couple of Frankie and Annette movies (Bikini Beach and Beach Blanket Bingo, which now have The Boy walking around imitating Eric von Zipper).

Oh shit. This does not look good for Homestar Runner.
