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.
Homage, where? And what was worth satirising? I found it to be so independent of the original beyond "undercover in high school" that they had to jam in the original actors to remind us why they spent money on the licensing. And there wasn't enough about the original to really satirise anyway.
Also really quite predictable, so if it wasn't an existing property, there'd be no reason to watch it either.
I really liked the 21 Jump Street movie. Thought it was consistently funny and sweethearted.
I thought it was easy and predictable, at least up to the point where I couldn't hang any more. Maybe it all came together in the ninth. But I didn't like anyone so far, and I didn't even hate them enough to want to burn them at the stake. Just guys I preferred on the far side of the room.
Oh crud, a Lego movie. That's going to be one of those movies I will have to see given that I live with their target audience. I wish I shared your rather muted enthusiasm for it, P-C.
R.I.P. James Gandolfini what the hell.
Oh, that's sad. And 51--jeez, I would have said he was 51 during The Sopranos.
Holy shit. 51.
I know, so young! It's so sad. Take care of yourselves, people!
Holy shit. Damn.
I know, so young!
He was three months younger than me!
