Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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 remembered that Marie Antoinette didn't really do it for me. Kirsten Dunst was great and I loved the shoe porn (Chucks cameo!) but other than that I was pretty meh.
IT IS ALL ABOUT PRETTY DRESSES AND CAKE AND SHOES. IT IS WONDERFUL.
Okay, yeah, there's a plot in there, too.
Love Lost in Translation. Might be my favorite movie ever. Hate Magnolia. Also quite liked Marie Antoinette but not in a memorable way.
Magnolia had me in stitches. I do not think that was the intent.
BUT WE ALL LAUGHED.
No one appreciates a good rain of frogs anymore. Sniff.

BUT WE ALL LAUGHED.
Like, WHEN THE DEAD MAN SANG?!?
I mean, that wasn't the part I hated most, but it does stand out as making me gnash my teeth.
I hated Lost In Translation. Those people were so unsympathetic to me. But then again, I love the isolation of a new country.
Hated Magnolia too.
there there, Magnolia. Ignore them. They just don't understand you the way I do...
While I'm hating, I must also mention my loathing of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I think there's just a genre of emotive movie I plain don't get.
Eternal Sunshine is one of my favorite movies. I saw it twice in the theater, which is rare.
Everyone needed stabbinating in the face.
But in good health I'll happily see movies multiple times in the theatre. They don't have to be good--just fun. But good helps. I've probably seen The Princess Bride in theatres upwards of ten times.
