Scrappy, those are two very amusing/awesome stories!
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

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.

Nice. Although the last time he told that story about Illyria, it was King Lear.

You mean Joss is not a 100% reliable narrator? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

I was able to sit all the way through Sucker Punch by sneering snark, sarcasm, bile, and hatred at the movie for the entire thing. I didn't actually hear a lot of the dialog, but what I did hear was atrocious, and the movie wasn't made any worse by *not* listening to it.

I'm rewatching Iron Man 2 with the hopes that my expanded knowledge of the comics 'verse will help it make better sense.
Almost halfway through, I decided that if it had been titled Iron Man 2: Legacies, I might have caught a clue earlier. (I still feel stupid, because "legacy" was mentioned about five times by this point).

Also, I really hate Sam Rockwell's face. He's up there with Edward Norton for actors whose movies I don't want to see. I don't know if this is an aesthetic bigotry, or that they've both been typecast into unsavory roles based on their looks. The only time I enjoyed Norton was when he was dressed as Barney in a black comedy. Seeing them play smarmy characters just takes the fun out of loathing them and really makes me want to avert my eyes.
In Iron Man 2 news: knowing comic/Avengers movie canon has definitely lessened the hot mess that is/was IM2.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I think the only movies I've seen Sam Rockwell in were Galaxy Quest, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and IM2. I found him amusing in all three.
I actually liked IM2, but it was a let-down compared to how good IM1 was.

I loathed Rockwell in IM2, but generally enjoy his work.
