I loathe 3-D, but Coraline remains my one exception. I really did like how they managed it there.

Well, in that case, if they cast John Barrowman to look pretty and act wooden, I'll be all over it.

I do too. But I get burned, every single time.

As a south Jersey resident, I feel comfortable saying this movie is going to suck.

I still have to sing "Glendale Train", by New Riders of the Purple Sage, to my youngest.

I am pretty easygoing about my holiday sap, and think this review is actually more generous with its rating than I am after finally seeing this POS tonight. Holy shit, what a godawful movie.

"I just kind of lost interest and realized that the whole myth,
especially surrounding Jim Morrison, is kind of hollow and silly. It
is, after all, just rock and roll, and Jim was pretty much just a guy
wearing leather pants spouting dorm room poetry."

I'M SORRY! Meet you at happy hour?

Oh shit, that was you? Sorry, I'm not a stalker, I swear.

I can kind of see Martin Freeman as Tiny Angry Bond, a little.

I didn't watch Mad Men for the longest time and couldn't figure out why everyone was carrying on over…Jon Heder.

I'm one of the fangirls, but he really was dreadful in Black Mass.

That was really, really bad. I am one of those women who carries on over him, but yikes. He was really mis-cast in this.

I don't think I have ever wanted to hug someone so much in my entire life. She is just charming.

Ooh, that's all good to know. Thanks!

I've just finished IQ84, which was a much quicker read than I expected. I also recently finished Kim Newman's An English Ghost Story, which lost momentum for me around 2/3 of the way through, but I like it enough to pick up Anno Dracula.

That's good to hear re: Carry On. It's sitting on my Kindle but I've been putting it off because I ended up skipping a lot of the extracts in Fangirl.

I watch this movie over and over again every November. The house and neighborhood are so very like where my husband grew up that we're both overwhelmed with borrowed nostalgia when we watch it. And the cast is fantastic.

It is a sco-hore! It is a sco-hore!

I'm about the same age as your parents (ouch) and was managing a independent video store when this movie came out on VHS. (Oh god. Does that make me Joe?) I have fond memories of this movie and still quote a couple of lines here and there, but I don't think I've ever sat down and watched it straight through since,…
