'Safe'
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.
I found it amusing that Neeson's virginal brunette daughter was played by the slutty blonde on Lost. And the callous disregard for anybody else's daughter bothered me a lot, too.
I sort of liked Eternal Sunshine as one of those plotless dreams one has, that you get flashes of in memory later on, but don't feel a compulsion to string together narratively. The characters were part of the scenery for me.
And ita's couples are mine, I think.
Tom re: Taken and the other daughter...
yes. she was found dead with a needle in her arm.
Sorry, Jon. Habit. I never have very good luck when I use the quick edits but I will do so in the future.
I'm watching Touch of Evil. wtf Orson Welles? Charlton Heston as a Mexican!? I can't get past it and enjoy the movie.
A movie that I just watched again that belongs on everybody's top of the decade list - Redbelt. Mamet's best, hands down.

It makes a great double feature with Kinky Boots.
The quick edit is a LIFESAVER for those of us reading on phones. Thank you, custom CSS!

You ever see ED WOOD, Laga?
I love TOUCH OF EVIL. I actually rather like Heston in it. Lord knows, he's far from the loopiest (or looniest) thing in the movie. Plus, Heston has been credited with getting Welles the director's gig on that, so one more in the plus column for him.
I liked Redbelt quite a bit and then I thought it got too schmaltzy at the end.
Yeah, the ending of Redbelt kind of ruined it for me, too.
