"hidden chapter of history" stories
Oh yes. I love these.
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.

Since I appear to be a wet blanket,
No worries. My ardor is unquenchable.
No, you're not, JZ. When we had HBO I watched it three times. I thought it was great.(I never knew that story before that movie.)
January Man and Blow Dry are a couple of my Rickman faves, too. But his turn in Robin Hood was delicious--he and Michael Wincott, and okay, Freeman, were the best of that movie. And Mastrantonio, of course.
I am officially tired of Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen.
Great Scenes from TV and Film, Told Using Only Typography (and Sound).
These are really neat. Kinematic typography!
Saw "Definitely, Maybe", and amazingly Abigail Breslin didn't steal the movie from the cuteness that is Ryan Reynolds. It was rather sweet and unexpected and the writing rather reminded me of the fun that was The West Wing: lots of smart, passionate, complicated people and very fast-paced dialogue.
And yet, it was so a male Jane Austen story: who will the guy hook up with! / is beaten by Jane Austen fans
We watched Across the Universe. I was amazed at the sheer pointlessness of it all. Aside from the gimmick, there's really nothing there. There's some neat choreography here and there, but the use of the Beatles songs isn't really interesting in and of itself; they're not used creatively. Here's a Beatles song, and here's another Beatles song, and here's another Beatles song. And I'm not sure whether there was an actual plot because I fell asleep.
