I haven't seen it but as soon as it opens in Montreal I will.  It's called "J'ai tué ma mère (I killed my Mother)"

We're talking about Xavier Dolan's 1st movie.  The boy wrote the script when he was 17, produced (as in invested all his personal money in it) and directed it when he was 19 and now that he's 20, he was selected at the Cannes Film Festival *and* won 3 of the 4 prizes in the independant films category last week!

Oh I fogot, he plays the lead in it as well.

He's also gay - and cute.

I'm in love  :wub:

But once you think about it a little bit, you realize that there really isn't anything at all compelling there - it is just a sequence of actions scenes strung together by this ridiculously thin plot that you do not really care about at all (Gee, I wonder if they will save Earth! Oh the suspense!).

Vulcan was destroyed, as a Star Trek fan how could you not care?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Or was it?

Star Trek movies are usually all about time travel to change the past to save the future. Perhaps they are getting ready to go back and save Vulcan in the sequel?

Indeed - how did they manage to make me not care about that?

An impressive feat, really.

Well played, sir.

Watched "The Laramie Project" docudrama about Matthew Shepherd. very well handled for that kind of thing. (Actors playing the people of the town.) Realistic and very heart tugging.

Went and saw T4:salvation for my birthday.

Was okay if it had been a standalone film, but as part of Terminator 'verse (:P grumbler) it suffers as weakest link*
