Wow, she's hot...
What? Is she even close to that hot in the flesh?
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Just got back from seeing The Princess and the Frog with Matilda. I don't think I can even say anything about it yet; I'm just all hand-flappy swoony squee. I want to see it about eleventy-million more times. SWOON.
It got a bad review in our local weekly. I'd love to hear a positive reaction though because I was very excited to see it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've heard that it's a very good movie in classic Disney 2-D animated form....

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Here's the review. The reviewer seems mostly irritated that it didn't focus or address racial relations enough. [link]

She looks much the same, though she is pretty short, which surprised me. I thought of her as tall and lanky, but she is short and lanky. Weird. Dressed just like Shane and with Shane hair, too.

She moves like she takes up a lot of space, I think.

Princess and Frog
So many posters on my adoption lists are furious that the first black female lead in a Disney animation spends most of the film as a frog. There was something else that bugged them, but now I can't recall. I am not sure mac wants to see it, he seems to flip-flop on it, he can;t decide if it is too much of a girls' movie.
OTOH he say Fantastic Mr. Fox with his uncle and liked it. Uncle loved it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Prince isn't black?

I've wondered about that as well. It doesn't seem right.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My sister saw it and said it wasn't worth the $12.50 she spent. She didn't hate it, but she said the music was blah (why you would hire Randy Newman to write music for a film set in NOLA is kind of beyond me) and the racial stuff is typically Disney-problematic.
Fantastic Mr Fox, OTOH, was wonderful. So much fun to watch.
