I wish Memphis' classic movie events would bring Annie Hall to the Orpheum. I'm holding out to see that on a big screen.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

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.

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

Heh. I'm old enough to have seen it on a big screen on its original run. I even remember the exact theater.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I saw "Wolverine" tonight. IMO, this is not a good movie. I thought the script was quite poor, not enough Jackman naked or half naked, and there are plot points that make NO sense.
If you are so inclined, you should stay through all of the credits, there are two bonus scenes after the end of the movie.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
A mom walked out of Wolverine with her 7 year-old and pointed to me and the box office cashier saying, "those two ladies have seen it and they both think it's too violent for a seven-year-old"
I started to say, "I haven't-"
and she shushed me like Cesar Milan, "shht- You've seen it ."

Dude, you just bitched about parents taking their kids to see it. So back up the parents who are trying to prevent their kids from seeing it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I agree. I am feeling newfound parental solidarity.

She should have told me up front she wanted me to lie for her- I would have been cool with it. The shushing was completely uncalled for. And if I would have seen her buy the tickets I would have warned her. There's also ratings information everywhere.

Pfft. You need to learn to lie extempore. That's the only useful kind.

I bet, as parents, you don't take your kids to a movie without looking at the ratings information in advance.
she shushed me like a dog! and did that gesture, you know, like snapping jaws with her hand!

I'd have totally fired back "Your mommy LIES!"
Being a parent makes you the boss of your kid, not of me.
