Mal ,'Trash'
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.
Also, Strega mentioned Cronenberg's Crash, which could fit under Technology and Society in addition to Gender and Sexuality.
And also Crime and Deviance!
I was just thinking, Robocop has a fair amount of Media stuff, too. Ideally you can come up with a dozen movies that you just repeat in different combinations to fill all of the categories.
...or is annoying people not the goal?
Gender and Sexuality: Hedwig and the Angry Inch
How did I not think of this immediately?
I just saw my first Watchmen promo that I had not gone looking for. The bloody smiley popped up in an ad window while I was watching a youtube clip and I got all tingly. It's a contest!
I went to see Speed Racer last night. I walked out.
I haven't read one good review. The closing credits are pretty but that's all I've seen.
I've heard reports from two people who loved it.
I saw "Iron Man" again last night. I liked it better upon second viewing.
Saw Speed Racer today and loved it, but I can see where it might be too much for some people. Particularly if you have a really bad reaction to visual overload.
I've not seen the source material. I suspect I probably would of enjoyed it if I had, but in terms of a stand alone movie it was a complete mess.
I've just been looking at the reviews - my favourite line so far: "There's something here for everyone to dislike - the whole clan can have fun making fun of this thing". Hee!
