'Never Leave Me'
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.
There's a whole movie genre of James Spader Is A Freak Who Gets His Freak On. I approve.
He is the God-King of Perv: Crash, Secretary, Sex, Lies and Videotape.
I'd be disappointed to find out he's really vanilla and just a good actor with a pervy face.
"Good guys, bad guys, and explosions, as far as the eye can see."
How is that different from a non-nihilistic action movie?
IO9's list of upcoming comic book titles include a number of things which might be of interest to various fandoms who don't usually go to the comic book store: X-Files (crossover with 30 Days of Night), Stargate, Dr. Who.

Say what you want about the non-nihilistic action movies, but at least they had an ethos!
I love action movies anymore. I've drifted so far from rom-coms. If I'm putting on something for background noise it's much more likely to be something like The Italian Job or The Rock, or even horror, like Resident Evil or the remake of Dawn of the Dead.
(Which I typed first as Dawn of the DEAN. My Winchester love is getting a little ridiculous.)
I can't even watch rom-coms anymore, especially not new ones.
I love rom-coms as a genre, yet I cannot remember the last good one I saw.
Of course, there are rom-coms that are not very good but I love them anyway because I am a Sucker (prime example: Two Weeks' Notice.)
I've drifted away from rom coms a fair amount too, but I'm glad I saw Just Wright. It was really charming and sweet and hot. Mostly I like movies where people try and kill other people. Hopefully, they are also funny.
I have a few old favorites -- Notting Hill and About a Boy -- but generally I'd watch Pretty Woman again before any new ones or anything with Tom Hanks or Meg Ryan ever again.
