Think I'll pass on that one.

Role Models was hilarious.

Yeah its pretty dumb. Someone pointed out something to me about this vampire mythos - they aren't really vampires. They're fae that drink blood.
I had to go Friday night with the girlfriend. A long line of girls with red ribbons and bad red streaks in their hair saw it with us and shrieked with delight when a) the lights went off b) the movie started c) any of the main characters appeared for the first time d) intermittently whenever Edward appeared.
Not really a spoiler but my view on the movie:
There was nothing there in this one. Its like an hour of bad angst, 90 minutes of lame teenage romance and 30 minutes of weak "action." And yes, I know the movie was supposedly two hours, but it felt closer to four.
Worst movie I've seen in theaters since Punch Drunk Love and the worst I didn't walk out of.

Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
Supposedly it hasn't been getting the best of reviews in the screenings. It must have really hurt the movie company, because they were pushing it for oscar consideration.

I've been meaning to read that for a while. Worth it?

Good lord, that's horrendous. I've heard these book are pretty blatantly sexist in the "girl with daddy-complex needs the man to do everything for her and rescue her every 5 minutes" flavor. Does the main character end up doing anything except get rescued?

We must make this film. NOW!
Close, but what makes the romance interesting is the juxtaposition of deliciousness and sexual attraction! Get me an erotic cherry cheesecake, and I'll get in touch with Hugh Jackman's people.
Concurred. It will be the very definition of bleak.
Also, is this where we confess to reading the Twilight books? I did, they were as god-awful as I expected and yet I read the entire fucking series.
Overall, the movie is good but that's about where my feelings end. Lurhmann didn't create any images or scenes that stuck in mind afterwards, the kind that made me want to see Moulin Rouge! multiple times. The film was visually stunning, and the story was interesting (especially the backstory of Abirigionals) but I couldn't help but feel like with a little more development, the movie could cut like a rapier instead of a machete. It's also a fairly long movie at 3 hours, so unless you really love Baz Luhrmann or Australian history, this probably should remain a renter for most people.
Today is Milk, and I have high hopes for it. Looking in to December, though, gives me dread as there aren't films I want to see for a few weeks. Maybe Milk can tide me over.
