Next time it takes longer than you'd like, listen to some Roxy Music. It usually helps.

Well, I had put a long, indignant thing about how he's Don Cherry's son and Nenah's brother and how the hell can he be Swedish! And then I did a quick google and discovered that, yeah, he's Swedish. But you can't edit a comment away, so it became this. And that's what I get for trying to be a no-it-all this morning!

I had the exact same concern. And their relationship was one of the things I loved about this movie: the catty potential was there but the movie let us all be smart enough to fill it in. It wasn't about bitchy women, and it didn't go there.

I didn't realize Eagle-Eye Cherry was Swedish.

I really love that version of Romeo + Juliet. I think it's crazy and frenetic and frothy with teen angst, which is just what Shakespeare would have wanted.

6 weeks: Good on ya!

Weird. spicoli323 mentioned watching The Thing. That's two old school Carpenter nods in one page.

In my no spare time I'm trying to watch this show, and I've only seen the first 3 episodes, but I agree: it's awful and also I love it.

That so sucks. I'm sorry.

I finally showed Zero Dark Thirty and holy shite was it good. It did so much right, and I haven't decided if Kathryn Bigelow rose above sexual politics or just pwned them. Either way, best movie I've seen in a very long time.

Yeah, I'm a King fan (maybe not a hardcore one?) AND a film lover AND a Kubrick fan and… I can find room in my heart for both. I'm teaching a horror film class this spring and while I prepped it I realized I'm getting old and jaded and I was starting to wonder if maybe I'm not scare-able anymore. Then I remembered…

I respectfully disagree. I don't think it failed at all. I think it just decided to be about something completely different.

I really want to see this. This trailer did nothing to encourage or discourage this, though, so I guess it kind of fails as a trailer. 

Nothing sexist about recognizing that she's gorgeous. It's only sexist if you decide a.that's all she's good for or b.that means she couldn't possibly be a good musician as well. (Sorry. I'm on a 3rd wave rant this week.)

But he's dead so that would be gross.

Yep.

You and I obviously have very similar tastes in music. Well done.

It wouldn't play and I reloaded and now it's gone. That is impressively glitchy.

I'm not even gonna lie: that is a nice light fixture. But $1870? I guess I'll have to stick with IKEA when it's time to redo the dining room.
