Demon Under Glass
Jan. 31st, 2008 10:25 pmO-kay! Something to cross off my list of things to do!
I put some solid work in tonight and finally, finally finished watching Demon Under Glass. I have been at it since, like, October. I just couldn't watch for longer than about five minutes at a time.
What I'm trying to tell you, I guess, is that that's why the recap is so incredibly detailed.
DEMON UNDER GLASS "In a featureless black box room, the three doctors watch through a one-way mirror into the super-secure-totally-look-we-boringly-showed-all-these-security-measures room where the SWAT guys are installing Marcus's casket. Subcommander Tal tells [Blair] that inside is a 'creature of pure [mumble]' (malevolence? evil? metal?) Blair guesses 'Lawn gnome?' Dirty look: 'Vampire.' Blair's incredulous. Tal: 'Do you know any human being that can be repeatedly shot, clubbed, shoved into a box, and still have the strength to resist?' Well, Blair does, yeah."
NB: I do not want you to watch this movie. I can't stress that enough. I don't even really recommend that you read the recap, but must needs when the devil drives. Godspeed.

Uh. So, no, no progress on those recaps I promised. But how about a review of a Callum Keith Rennie movie I didn't like?
Classic movie slash
Sep. 14th, 2007 09:42 pmIf you're looking for a great movie for a two-guys-and-a-girl OT3, may I suggest Talk of the Town (1943; dir. George Stevens). Ronald Colman and Cary Grant both have chemistry with Jean Arthur, but even more so with each other; shortly after they meet, more or less every other line out of their mouths is a compliment to each other: "You're a wonderful man"; "I like you more than I've ever liked a man in my life." Both have conversations with Jean Arthur to the effect of: "You care deeply for him. I understand exactly how you feel." *g* At a certain point - it had to be intentional.
I finally saw Brokeback Mountain. I'm afraid I didn't really like it, fellas. You might want to skip this one if you did. On the other hand, I'm open to arguments in its favor.
