It's a strange psychological trait that compels our need for someone we never have and never will meet to embody our own standards of goodness because we like seeing them perform in movies.
   It's strange, but it's there, and therefore I'm really sad that Cate Blanchett wasn't as awesome as I so desperately want her…

Holy God, @paraclete_pizza:disqus .  You are sporting the top echelon of creepy mustaches in that picture.
   It's like you're wearing an Amber Alert on your upper lip.

Watch what happens when people stop being polite… and start their first nascent steps of carefully proscribed character notes heightened and refined for maximum feigned narrative under camera scrutiny."

"At least this guy had a seat on his."

"She knew I wanted her hair natural and all the oral sex was going to be tightly scripted!"

She was about three weeks into filming until she realized, shit, she's been on the wrong set the whole time!

She didn't even show up in time for that.

Yeah, but he's Jim Henson, so that nine cents traveled through the magic portal in his pocket to where a group of hyper-kinetic dancing monsters broke apart the coins into a thousand reflective shapes that they then threw up into the night sky, filling the world with a rainbow aurora borealis.
   So, fucking whatever.

 Given the incredibly broad cross-section of tastes, disposition and experiences had by users of the internet, framing any question as "Am I the only one" is fundamentally folly, because, no, of course you're not.
   But in this case you should be.

"Did you hear the New Muppet Movie is going to have two Kermit the Frogs?"

I was… disappointed?  I don't know if that's the right word.  My fears were confirmed.
   You know how in Lord of the Rings -The Movie Version, Aragorn was recast as a reluctant hero, hesitant to claim his place as last of the Numenor and King of the West and is all "I am a simple man, and am not confident of my role…

Hansel and Gretel:  I had sex with your wife last night.  Yeah that's right.  And it was filthy.  But you're not even reacting because you're so distracted by some CGI sparklepuss getting a steampunk crossbow to the snoot, anything I say is just a low thrumming noise.

I dunno, I can think of lot's of compelling ideas for a sequel.

He's well adjusted and competent!

If the devil were to place himself at the head of this nation, he likely would have done so somewhere around the Eisenhower administration, when we were full ascendance on the global stage.
   I figure at this point, Lucifer's planting himself as a Chinese inter-party official being groomed for high office.
   Assuming,…

Closing Time is one of those irredeemably cheesy Leonard Cohen songs that I truly love.
   As opposed to say… Jazz Police; which is one of those irredeemably cheesy Leonard Cohen songs that should be universally scorned, and probably chased out of the village with torches and pitchforks to live the rest of it's life…

Sometime, Hulk want to put on comfy pj's, curl up with good book and just Hulk in for change.

My inner demon is Paste Pot Pete, which may make a cool movie.

It never crossed my mind he'd be considered a shitty director.  I thought the merits of his strong work were such that they easily outweigh the flaws of his weaker work.
   But maybe that's just what I think and figured I was actually in sync with other people.

@Scrawler2:disqus   Sense and Sensibility is fucking awesome.  It's sarcastic, beautifully shot and framed -and ends in a double wedding, which I believe is the more feminine cinematic catharsis equivalent of a futuristic space-prison exploding into the moon.
   If I'm reading my conversion charts correctly.
