The stupidest thing you've heard someone say about a movie..

[ᾦɐļᵲʊʂ]

Someone left a Cosmopolitan out at work and we were all laughing at it, particularly where it suggests for girls to "Go ahead and enjoy a shoot-em-up action flick with your beau once in a while so he has no choice but to go see lovey-dovey chick flicks with you!"

I was talking to a girl the other day who said that Werner Herzog just makes "guy movies."  I thought that was a ridiculously reductionist view of his films, but I don't meet many people who have actually heard of Herzog.  FWIW she said she likes his documentaries.

I'm in love.

Studio chief urges theater operators to trade in popcorn for peaches

Hold the butter on that popcorn.

Sony Pictures Entertainment Chief Executive Michael Lynton called on the nation's biggest circuits to think about the waist lines of their customers, not just their own bottom lines.

In a speech at the nation's largest theater convention in Las Vegas, Lynton urged theater owners to offer healthier snacks at their concession stands and not simply rely on the usual fare of candy, popcorn and soda.

"Adding healthier options to your existing menu is the right thing to do for our industry, for audiences and for our country," Lynton said at the annual movie industry convention known as ShoWest.

Lynton cited the childhood obesity epidemic and a poll conducted by Sony that found two-thirds of moviegoers and three-quarters of parents are more likely to buy healthy snacks at theaters if they are offered them.

As for what kinds of healthy snacks he had in mind, Lynton said: "I don't thinks giant tubs of spinach or broccoli's a good idea. And nobody wants to eat cauliflower while watching Spider-Man or drink a 40-ounce cup of prune juice."

man fuck popcorn,. i don't eat that shit at the movies cos i don't eat it at home.

butter on it? makes me sick to think about. on top of what a waste of money it is, it gets all messy, all over your clothes and in your teeth, it's not even filling, it's not a great snack cos it's like pretzels you get dry mouf. the salt is nice but that's about it. i usually just bring a bottle of water from home which i reach for only in long movies when the air conditioning of the theatre makes my throat a bit dry.

seriously the fewer distractions the better.

Popcorn is great!  Movie popcorn sucks.

I love making some popcorn at home.  Pop it in olive oil on the stove, add some salt... delicious.
The problem with movie popcorn is that it's cooked in too much oil and is drown in butter.  Popcorn is pretty healthy if you don't slather it with that shit.

I don't buy concessions at the regular theater save for the occasional diet soda.  If I buy something, it's at the drafthouse.  More theaters SHOULD offer stuff other than candy and popcorn, but trying to get theaters to get rid of popcorn is basically asking them to go out of business.

Deliverance: "It wasn't realistic. They should have brought a knife or something."

Twenty minutes of discussion follows.

My reaction:

Almost quit film analysis class.

[Pas]

They had a huge bad ass bow didn't they?

[ono]

I'll just leave this right here.

There goes my productivity for the rest of the afternoon.

Not the dumbest thing I've heard, but one person told me they didn't like PDL because it made them feel awkward and uncomfortable. I thought that was kind of the point?

[Jeremy Blackman]

"Awkward and uncomfortable" was always my favorite section in the video store.

Actually second favorite, next to "intense and crushing." (See: Dancer In the Dark.)

my brother's one word review of PDL:

" it was....sad "

I think if you haven't felt like Barry before, you can't help but pity him. Otherwise, you'll find funny written all over the movie.

[socketlevel]

or you find it sad.
