Farewell, Livejournal
Like the last rat from a sinking ship, I am hereby abandoning Livejournal. Lent posts have been copied over to MacCrocodile.com.
See you there. -
Lent: Part 40
Ben-Hur (1959) - This movie is best watched with plenty of finger quotes (for subtext).
Well, so much for year seven. See y'all in year eight. -
Lent: Part 39
The Fly (1986) - In the first scene, I became convinced that Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum are the same person. And then it had sex with itself. Gross.
And now I'm all caught up. See you tonight, if you're coming. If you're not coming, get bent, I guess. -
Lent: Part 38
Yentl (1983) - This seems like a good time to apply the Carol Channing Principle. After all, Barbra Streisand owes Carol a movie or two. The obvious move is as the title character, but I honestly couldn't think of a single character Carol Channing couldn't make better. -
Lent: Part 37
Atlas Shrugged: Part I (2011) - At this level of writing and acting, one is tempted to reclassify this as porn in hopes that it can compete on its own level. But then one sees the sex scene. -
Lent: Part 36
Blithe Spirit (1945) - It's funny because women are irrational and spiteful for all eternity. -
Lent: Part 35
The Mill and the Cross (2011) - Turns out this would have made a good fortieth film (hey, did you know Rome bears many similarities to Rome?), but sometimes when you pick movies, sight-unseen (and frantically trying to catch up to the schedule), you have little to no idea what any given movie is about beforehand. Sometimes, it's just something ( Read more... ) -
Lent: Part 34
Giant (1956) - Dear makeup artists. You can't just comb silver into Elizabeth Taylor's hair and tell me she's old. Same goes for Rock Hudson. James Dean is doing all your work for you. -
Lent: Part 33
A Game of Death (1945)
Darien: Huh, so this is not only the first adaptation of the short story The Most Dangerous Game, but also the only one to use the original characters.
Me: Well, duh, because after this one, they were all dead.
Darien: :|
Me: ...and they had to get new ones for the next remake.
Darien: :|
Me: ...because the originals were -
Lent: Part 32
Party Monster (2003) - So this is apparently what becomes of child actors. I hear Haley Joel Osment has also done trashy-gay. I must admit: I am surprised. I did not hate Macaulay Culkin's stupid, ugly face.
