Steph, what was it that made you want to punch out the Legend of 1900?
The pacing, the learned helplessness and self-sacrifice ? Or what?
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

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.

That's the biker gang leader, right? I love the biker gang in the Frankie and Annette movies.
Yes! "You are my idol and I ADORE you!"
bonny, it was the learned helplessness. Plus, I was angry at the director for showing the ship blowing up. Jesus.
OTOH, I absolutely LOVED the scene when Max first came on the boat and got seasick, and 1900 played the piano as it sailed around the parlor. That just took my breath away.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
[REC] was pretty intense at points, and it really made me feel that they just took a camera into a zombie-infested apartment building. I'm looking forward to watching Quarantine tomorrow and seeing how it differs.
Scanners was plodding and dull. What the heck, Cronenberg?

Has anyone seen Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead yet? It's coming to the theatre in our neighborhood, and I was curious if anyone has seen it and, if so, what they think of it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
My friend wrote an article about it/the creators! Lemme dig it up!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I loved (and own the DVD and the poster) Y tu Mama Tambien. So yeah, probably if you didn't like that you won't like Auberge. Is Jamon Jamon set in Barcelona? That at least has naked bullfighting to redeem it.
edit: I think it's set in Aragon but there was some filming in Barcelona.
