Yes, seriously, I joined the crowd and am “allowing” – as if there was a big demand for it – the rating of individual posts and comments and pages. You’re welcome. No, really.
Daniel Craig, right as always.

This is a brand-new site (I’m one of the first 300 to sign up, apparently), and it allows you to “unlock” badges and so forth in order to view independent films. Might be worth a look-see.

Everything’s all out of order in the classic ’95 movie. So here’s how it all went down, organized by character.
Okay, in terms of “found footage” movies, this one is pretty creepy. I have no idea how legit it is, but it has an authentic feel to it. The video’s only five minutes.
I know, I know, another cult-movie site. But man… good stuff if, you know, you’re into that stuff.
Interesting debate – if there can be one – but I think the Cameron defender just comes off as “zomg Cameron is genuis and people don’t get him” or “Cameron influenced so many people but he can’t help it if those people are crappy filmmakers.”
Titanic does have its moments. But if you’re in a theater, watching it all unfold, and you hear cheers when the ship finally breaks in twain… well, that’s not a good movie, is it? It’s not supposed to make us dislike the people who die, is it? Of course not. So for my money, it’s a laughable movie that wasn’t good then and hasn’t aged well in the meantime. DiCaprio, although looking pinch-your-cheeks adorable, offers a hackneyed performance with no nuance. I didn’t even like Winslet in it, but thank goodness she (pardon the pun) drifted away from flat, one-dimensional crap and stretched herself as an actress.

The only way I’d find this remotely acceptable would be if it met two criteria:
1. Seats must be in a balcony or otherwise far removed from everyone else – and by no means BETTER locations.
2. Seats must cost more. A lot more. You wanna text/tweet your brains out? Go ahead. A $6 matinee will now run you $10. A $10 ticket will run you $14. A 3D, IMAX movie will cost not $20 but $26. And if you text/tweet or (god forbid) talk on the bloody phone in a seat not designated for same, you’re to be immediately expelled from the theater. Do it a second time, and you’re banned for life.
