Closed Film and TV threads

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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I really had no IDEA how smoking hot Zachary Quinto was until this movie. (Sure, Sylar's attractive in a villainous kind of way, but...WOAH. Spock. Hawt.)

Jessica, rent So NoTORIous. He's about 20 times hotter as Sasan than he is on Heroes. Also, most of the episodes are pretty funny (the Scientology one is hilarious!).

In general I agree with Frank about the unctuousness of Ferris Beuller himself, but I did really like Jennifer Grey and Alan Ruck in that movie. Plus, "Ed, Ferris Beuller's on line two!" is one of my favorite reaction shots of all time.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I adore the FBDO, but it's not about Ferris! You're supposed to feel that way about Ferris, because Cameron feels that way about Ferris, and it's a movie about Cameron!

I <3 Cameron.

Definitely Running Scared!! How did I forget that one?

Between the car chase on the L tracks and the frackin' awesome finale in the State of Illinois building's atrium, it does a great job of showing off parts of the city you don't see elsewhere.

Speaking of L tracks... I would add Wanted to the list.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I saw a Pixar person at our Little League game the other day, and she'd just come back from a screening of Up.

She said it great, and very moving. Poignant.

(And no, she doesn't love them all just because her husband works there.)

Yes! "Hey, he lives in Fox Chapel! Crime pays well!"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Guys who make their too-young sons watch Wolverine should be poked repeatedly with very pointy sticks. A boy walked out of the last show in tears and now there's a dad in the hallway trying to get his kid to go back in. "What if I cover your ears?" wtf Dad?

I love Innocent Blood.

Chicago = High Fidelity...Cusack flavor.
