Buffy ,'Showtime'
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.
A friend just IM'd me to talk about a movie he just saw starring Hayden Christian Church.
I think he means Thomas Hayden Church, but he might mean Hayden Christiansen.
Or their love child. Or their love child via a discussion of secular power vs. the Christian Church in the Middle Ages.
I assume he means Smart People, starring Thomas Haden Church.
I also liked Forgetting Sarah Marshall quite a bit. Very amusing. And the dracula musical would definitely have a long and successful off-Broadway run. Brilliant!
Has anybody else seen the movie The TV Set? It's got Mulder with a beard as a showrunner and Ripley as a TV exec - what more could you need?
It was laugh out loud funny to me, but the people on IMDB were busy slagging it off. Whatever, IMDBers!
Oh, Jilli! The Film Course That Fell to Earth
I liked The TV Set but it fell a little short for me.
no fewer than 22 film projects born of graphic novels or comics have been announced in the last six weeks.
They are so going to royally fuck up Ronin. It's inevitable.
What did you think of Sin City ?
What did you think of Sin City ?
Personally, I hated it. I'd never read the comic, I must admit, so the whole "Oooh, this is just like page x of That Yellow Bastard!" didn't do much for me. The style was kinda annoying, but I think the thing I disliked most is that the stories seemed mainly to be a thirteen year old's idea of what "cool, gritty, noir" would be.
I don't mind gratuitous violence. Some of my favorite movies are chock-full of it. But Sin City just seemed like a series of shoddy stories acting as flimsy excuses for a lot of stupid ultra-violence. I found none of the characters sympathetic or vaguely appealing.
YSCMV, natch.
