You've never seen The Lover Ide? 

[Ideologue]

Nope.  I wasn't too into watching movies about fucking when I was nine.  Well, I wasn't allowed to watch movies about fucking when I was nine.

Most are. Pay attention to the male characters. They're all going to be either malevolent, contemptuous or inconsequential.

Well, sure, that's true even in sexploitation flicks.

Frozen (2013).

Your experience may well be somewhat more positive, as the tolerance for goofy sidekicks and the desire to see suicide addressed in a children's movie do considerably vary from person to person.

But what if it had music by Queen?

A movie about Pompeii! Hurra... oh, wait it's by Paul W.S. Anderson.

It looks a little bleh.  I'm far more excited about Noah, which will be radical.  I hope it's four hours long, like a proper Biblical epic.

With an hour long scene of Emily Browning getting fucked

[Ideologue]

Sure.  The best epics have something for everybody.

The Stan Laurel Collection 

These are a collection of shorts Stan Laurel did before teaming up with Oliver Hardy  .  Stan was Charlie Chaplin's understudy when they were both with Fred Karno's troupe; and the early films sort of play like Chaplin shorts.  By the end of the period he had fully developed his character; and those films are essentially Laurel  without Hardy  .  He would be a lot funnier with his partner; but isn't bad on his own.

There's a couple shorts in the collection after he had moved to Hal Roach studios.  One of them has a cameo by the original Little Rascals, another one has Pete the Pup.

Pretty sure Chaplin wore a hat like that too.

[Savonarola]

Pretty sure Chaplin wore a hat like that too.

He did; but I was trying to avoid making the post too smiley.   

In a number of these shorts Stan actually wore a straw hat similar to Harold Lloyd's glasses character; the bowler is far more fitting.  It's funny how so many of the silent clowns are associated with their hats: Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy with their bowlers; Lloyd with the straw hat and Keaton with the pork pie.

Well, I wasn't allowed to watch movies about fucking when I was nine.

Me neither.  But that didn't stop me.

Anyone seen the Spike Lee Old Boy?

Review: Meh. If you've ever wanted to see Josh Brolin's ass, have I got a movie for you. On the other hand: Elizabeth Olsen gets naked.

Somebody just told me that the show Glee is supposed to take place in Lima Ohio. Whoever created the show has clearly never been there.
