I'm one of those, except I did not like Match Point very well when I saw it in the theatre. For me, it was contrived and predictable and Allen did the thriller thing much better in C's & M's. SJ seemed just annoying and petulant, as Nola. In real life, I find her to be a stunning creature gowned and coiffed as she is for the Disney campaign, but on film, meh.

I've not seen Scoop. Used to be I'd go see any Allen film as they came out, not so much any longer.

Have you seen Bullets Over Broadway? It's one of my all-time favorite Allen films. (And he's not in it.)

If you need a copy I have one to borrow.

Okay, I guess this is the best place to confess this. And I just quoted someone just now who cut mousepod some slack for liking Debbie Gibson in the past.

High School Musical is on it's way to my house from Netflix.

Here, I'll post a

right here for everyone who just did the same.

I'm curious as to why this movie is such a big dang hit.

That is all.

Great movie, this along with Radio Days is one of my all time favorites of Allen's films.

I love this name:
Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
He directed The Lives of Others which was released today.
I haven't seen the film but his name is hilariously awesome to say.

lol!

I actually am looking forward to seeing Bridge to Terebithia this weekend. It was required reading at my private grade school back in 7th grade for me.

GC -Having seen High School Musical oh about 30 times, the regular version, the sing along version, the dance along version - DON'T OPEN THE ENVELOPE, RETURN IT AS IS

Once was kind of ok, not so much after that. I mostly spend the whole time trying to figure out why Ashley Tinsdale's hair bugs me. It looks like bad Malibu Barbie hair. Are they extensions? Is it just too much hair spray? It doesn't move and it's quite un-natural. I do that while trying to resist the urge to snip Zack's bangs. How can he see?

I read somewhere today that they want to make High School Musical 3 a theatrical release. I sincerely hope that Madz will be over it by then and I won't have to watch.

But it's a hit Broadway-bound show, too! And a DVD board game that I got for Christmas, how could it be bad??

Of Allen's post-personal-scandal films, I really and surprisingly liked Deconstructing Harry. And Allen's even in it!
