'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
(Well, also, I loved Hans Zimmers score, and how it largely incorporated the type of silly Fiddler on the Roof music that John Murphy did for Snatch and Lock Stock.)
Gods, I loved the music in that movie. So very fun and cool and appropriate-feeling.
I have a question about the quick edit formatting. If I type "s" at the beginning of a line, I get the white font. Can I use it in the middle of a sentence, discussing spoilers? Because every time I try that, it doesn't work and then I end up running back to edit before I spoil someone. Which is why I use the html formatting--which seems to screw things up for others. What am I doing wrong?
You can use it in the middle of a sentence, but it still has to be the first character on a line.
So if I type it out like this it will appear in white font in the middle of a sentence?
Well, look at that. She can be taught.
Example: (without the apostrophes, natch)
I don't like
's' beetles.
Yields:
I don't like beetles.
eta: hit post just a couple seconds too late, not that you needed it!
Just got back from Broken Embraces.
Great acting, and often pretty to look at, but I'm not sure I get the point. It did make me want to rewatch Women on the Verge though.
Broken Embraces
Agreed. It wasn't a bad film, just kind of meh. I was disappointed.
I've never heard of Gayracula...
This one doesn't need much explanation. It's about a guy named Count Gaylord who stalks the streets of L.A. for the hunkiest victims to ever succumb to lust, as well as his enemy, the Marquis de Suede (okay, I'll admit that's an awesome name). Oh, and it's a gay porn, not B-roll of Tom Cruise as Lestat.
eta: But who included porn films in best/worst lists of genre films? I mean, people don't generally include Flesh Gordon in lists of bad scifi films, do they?
For American Psycho fans, a picture of The Perfect Billboard.
For The Thing fans, a short story with a different perspective.
