No, I don't know how to spell the long form of Gitmo ( Read more... )

Was watching something that turns out to be the second half of The New Centurions ( 1972 ) on TVO, it has a touching relationship between a white cop that reminds me of Eddie Blake, and a black (but not blacker than a paper bag) nurse that reminds me of Sally (or Older Moloch, the way she's patient when he's Drunk And Sad). Kept waiting for him to ( Read more... )

...or not, as I've had good memories of it when I saw it as a teenager, and seeing it again might ruin it. I liked the mood of it, or rather, It Spoke To Me, and this song:

(Paul McCartney &) Wings - "Live and Let Die (James Bond)"

When you were young and your heart was an open book ( Read more... )

"It's an example of transformative storytelling serving as a pro-feminist visual critique of Edward's character and generally creepy behavior."

Last night when I couldn't sleep, I watched My Super Psycho Sweet 16, it was super junk, but it did cheer me up in that the whole thing is so silly (even with all the gore), that I can easily dismiss it as Nevar, compared to actual thing that happened in similar events, like that girl in Richmond, California ( Read more... )

...and Spacecast has impeccable timing, because The Day After Tomorrow is on. The first time I saw it, I wasn't aware of the TV Tropes site, but that movie is truly tropperiffic. I mean, Jesus Fucking Christ, they have 'the littlest cancer patient' and, though it was not listed on its trope page, the classical guy at the bottom of the rope chain ( Read more... )

I finally saw Batman Begins, (2005), and though I've sworn for years that Burton Batman is the true Batman (what I have seen of Halle Barrie's Catwoman makes me want to commit senpuku), I am now won over. Initially, when Christian Bale was Bruce Wayne, I thought about American Psycho, but as the movie goes on, he becomes Batman. Michael Caine's ( Read more... )

What is it about it that just makes it so much better than other potions of mostly sugar?

Also, Psycho (1960) is on AMC now, it's the one I saw first, and it remains so much better than the remake. The thing about Psycho was, it's a case study of a psycho, this Norman Bates, what's psychotic about him. He really did seem like a nice young man at ( Read more... )
