So, I know I'm like 6 days late to the conversation, but I had never seen this before, and it was pretty eye opening.
I have a couple friends who have this theory (and I agree) that Cobain was maybe trans, and had a hard time dealing ( to understate it). I know that no one will ever know, and I'm not trying to declare…

Oh, cool, thanks. That's why I never do research- I just wait for other folks to fill me in.  Well, the film does look beautiful, and I still want to read the book.

I'm definitely intrigued by it as well. I haven't read the graphic novel, but apparently the creator denounced the film. Maybe I'll just read that.

Do you mean The Grandmaster? That one is coming soon (to most places), but there are also two other films, and a third one due out later this year, titled Ip Man starring Donnie Yen. Not to be a pretentious jerk about it. I just like those other Ip Man films quite a bit, but I maybe love Wong Kar-Wai more.

Femme Fatale as third rate DePalma? I mean, I guess, it is rather silly, but man, those first 45 minutes are fucking fantastic, and elevate it up a bit for me.

mistabook is that your opinion? Sounds like you're stating facts.

I agree with Dawson Smith below (or maybe above? I don't know how the internet works) a little. I LOVE Jurassic Bark - can't watch it without sobbing, Luck of the Fry-ish is fucking beautiful and so touching, but I think The Sting is the best and most emotionally resonant of the three. I feel that it's the best entire…

"Oh, god, you're killing me… Oh, god! You're killing me!"

I agree with you about Howl's. Also, I haven't read it, but I believe it was also a children's book? Or maybe YA, but either way, I'm pretty sure it's set in Europe and has a lot to do with one of the world wars. I can see how that might be the hardest part o get rid of/change and keep the original spirit.

Oh, man you can EDIT??! The internet is confounding.

I'm pretty sure that's three.

This is to ToddVanDerWerff's post below, re: talking about comics: OOOoooooohhhhhhh i c. Exciting, thanks! I take back my peevishness.

I've only been to SDCC once, like five years ago, but I kind of thought it was awesome. However, I had a free vendor's pass for helping out at a friend's booth, and my cousins lived directly across the street at the the time, so that may color my experience a little (or a lot - I have very little money).

I LOVE That's Lobstertainment! Especially as someone who's into the entertainment industry (both behind the scenes and not), I felt it was a pitch perfect satire. Plus: "The President is dead! …. Congratulations, Mr. President!"

Oh my God, Event Horizon is awful. Fun Fact, though: it was the first R-Rated movie I saw (in the theater!), when I was like 12 or 13 or something. Thought it was kind of bad, then, as well. I don't think it has stood the test of time, and now even more just reads like a sorry pastiche of influences.

Cemetery Man is totally out on DVD, just so you know! Love that movie.

Despite it being an understated performance, sometimes the Oscars give one (or at least a nomination) to older actors who've deserved one for a long, long time if there are lots of critical raves. Then it becomes less of an award for performance than a sort of lifetime achievement one. See: Caine, Michael and The…

He was one of the first crushes on a movie star I remember having. In Air Force One.

Those two Buffy episodes are pretty bad, for sure, but for me, the two worst are "Beer Bad," and "Amends," I think? The Thanksgiving one where are the white characters go around killing a bunch of (evil, re-animated, sure) Native people? That was helpful. There are still some good moments in there, like Willow's…

I totally agree. I picked up Divine Intervention out of curiosity and not much more, and was kind of blown away. It was so different and compelling. I haven't seen Chronicles of a Disappearance either, and I can only hope that this films makes it's way to my city.
