I don't care what any of you say, Donnie Darko is one of the top films on my list forever. I fucking love it. LOVE IT

Jean-Pierre Jeunet is wonderful.

However, in light of the world's events at the time I watched the movie on the big screen, I was so disturbed by the splattering of brains and the bodies falling left and right that my sorrow for all the fallen completely overshadowed the love story. I left the theatre with a nauseated stomach; I guess I need to hold off on the war movies for a while.

JFK:Would you like a ding-dong
[Elvis looks towards JFK's crotch]
JFK: Oh, I don't mean *mine*! I mean a chocolate ding-dong.
[thoughtful]
JFK: Of course mine *would* be chocolate now that I've been dyed.


That quote alone qualifies this as a certifiably excellent b movie.

Bruce Campbell, I'm in love with you.



...I have a Bubba Hotep poster above my bed. And I'm ok with that.

I like the part where Lily Tomlin stands outside Albert's window, taking notes, then follows him on her bike, wearing a white-skirted suit.

Oh! But my favorite part is when Naomi Watts drags the shirts across the floor, sporting the dirty bonnet. 'Nuf said.

Jude Law, stick to your accent.

I rented Napoleon Dynamite with my mother over winter break, knowing well before the movie was even in the DVD player that she would be less than appreciative of Napoleon and all that he represents (tots). Sure enough, about ten minutes into the film, she mumbled some comment about "silly movie...not funny.." and focuses her attention on laundry folding. Not 20 minutes later, I catch her cracking up at one of Kip's stellar lines (there are so many good ones), and- what do you know- she sits back down and finishes the movie with me.

I tell you, I was so inspired, I tried to do a little of that dance myself. My mother stopped folding laundry for that part too.

Neverending Story part 2 is better. Watch it and love it. Or else.

I just finished watching Tadpole. I think that the concept of a 40-year-old woman sleeping with a 15-year-old boy is pretty disgusting, but having said that, I thought that if anyone could get away with it, it would have to be Bebe Neuwirth. She is one sexy 40-year-old, and Aaron Stanford (Oscar) is definitely not 15. Sigourney Weaver played to sought-after medical scientist stepmom to a T, but right now I am looking at the DVD case and she is in this ridiculously low-cut red dress that she certainly did not wear in the movie- I don't get that. Why do they pose the actors and deck them out in these outfits that don't even appear in the movie itself? Anyway, I love love love John Ritter, and he is wonderful as the oblivious husband/weird dad figure. But my favorite part of the film, besides the shoddy camera work and music, is the sporadic quotes that appear in between scenes.

"Every man is guilty of the good he didn't do."
