Umm, then I guess you may or may not like Fido I suppose. Though it's probably got more in common with SotD than Idiocracy. I made the comparison because they're both "what if" type worlds, but definitely not the same sort of "what if".

Lust Caution and some Miss Marple Mysteries

Ghoulish Delight · 03-10-2008, 09:26 AM

I heard that the Chinese government started censoring Lust Caution because people were injuring themselves imitating the sex scenes.

I'm sorry, I lauged so hard at that moment. My son watched that movie with me, and when the child was yelling, he was sitting there saying, Wipe your own butt, you're five!!!

Otherwise, we both enjoyed this movie. Though I had a hard time explaining to my son why the reigning champ was being such "a baby".

On another note, I watched Keeping Mum this weekend.
Maggie Smith is funny. really funny.

I didnt know Rowan Atkinson could play a straight role.

And that movie was totally not what I expected, but I still loved it.
And thats just wierd for a movie with a body count.

The sex scenes in Lust, Caution are just WHOA. Especially the first one. Sigh, I long to "imitate" that scene. Brutal hotness extraordinaire.

Ugh, sorry you were meh about Across the Universe, GC. I liked it a lot better the second time when I wasn't watching it as a "story," but merely as an operetta of Beatles numbers linked by the flimsiest plot that was cobbled together to fit the songs, and not the other way around.

The moral of Lust, Caution is

Spoiler:

Those were hot scenes, and I'm not sure that was all acting.

We went and saw College Road Trip, which the boy loved as we knew he would. Raven is just cute and sweet. I love that she doesn't have to be stick thin to be a pretty role model.

We also saw Martian Child. It was slow moving but a touching story. The little boy was cute and it was fun to see the Cusack's playing brother and sister.

We passed a bit of a milestone. I took the kid to his first R-Rated movie: The Bank Job.

He liked it. I was less impressed.

Of course he liked it, there were naked boobies within the first 20 seconds.

Really, for many years that's all it took for me to consider a movie to be a classic.

In the same vein, I happened to catch the unrated version of American Pie: Beta House on TV the other night. I'd say it was the first vaguely mainstream movie I've seen featuring full frontal nudity involving a fully weed-whacked crotch (or whatever it is the girls do to themselves these days). Didn't look like I was watching a naked woman. I almost had to run out to rent a copy of Porky's to reorient myself.

But if I was 14, I know my head would have exploded.
