I love Eternal Sunshine. I'm not sure if there are any so-called classics or critically acclaimed movies I hate.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I liked eternal Sunshine a whole lot. And Trainspotting. And Kill Bill.
Haven't seen Magnolia or Thin Red Line or Marie Antoinette.
Have no string feelings one way or the other about Lost in Translation or the Goonies (I don't think I've seen Goonies all the way through).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I enjoyed: Eternal Sunshine, Lost in Translation, American Beauty, The English Patient and Happy Feet. (Yes, it was a mess, felt rather long for its length and the ending was... problematic; but it had penguins, and Steve Irwin voicing an elephant seal.)

That is pretty much how I feel about Happy Feet, bt. I am pretty sure I could edit it down into something I liked a lot. If I had editing skills.

The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo is on Netflix Watch Instantly. I haven't watched it yet, but I was surprised that it showed up so quickly.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just watched Quarantine, which is essentially a shot-for-shot, beat-for-beat remake of [REC]. I didn't think it was bad, and it had some good ideas of its own, but the original is better, as expected.

It's on DVD and the Girl Who Played With Fire is already in a local theatre.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You know as all-time gorgeous film couples go, I think I've been undervaluing Alain Delon and Claudia Cardinale in The Leopard.

Alain Delon = Yum. Or, rather, miam.
