Can't wait to see this. I didn't realize that some suffragists were secretly locked up and tortured Guantanamo style. Wow. Conservatives were scared of us even back then. I don't know why this isn't airing before the election. WOMEN, YOU HAVE TO VOTE! (Unless you're voting for McCain, who doesn't give a shit about us.)
Quoted: They had no vote, no political clout, no equal rights. But what they lacked under the law they made up for with brains, determination and courage. Oscar®-winner Hilary Swank leads an outstanding cast in the inspirational true story of two women who dared to make a stand for women's rights, and ended up shaping the future of America.

I'm so excited to see WALL-E on so many levels. Just have to go see it late enough to avoid loud, sticky kids.

I guess I'm not the only one who thinks "Knocked Up" is sexist -- the star of the movie does too.
Quoted: If Apatow tries, in Knocked Up, to suggest that guys need to grow up a bit to meet women's high expectations, he, like his own characters, doesn't seem to get that maybe there's a lot more to women than these expectations.
... If, as Heigl delicately put it, the movie is a "little sexist," that is because it is the natural product of a culture evidently sold on the notion that women are so focused on domestic mechanics that they simply don't know how to allow themselves the playful inner lives men do ... - ms.kruse | Shared With: Everyone - Oct 12 2007 | movies, Elizabeth I, British history, awesome
I also don't care about the slab of Stilton. It's a small sacrifice for my Personal Irony Theshold to make in order to enjoy Cate Blanchett's 'white-hot glow'.
redotted from Shiwani
Quoted: Elizabeth : The Golden Age (Universal) is a great hulking slab of English cheese, Stilton perhaps, or Wensleydale. It's one part historical melodrama, two parts bodice-ripper ...

Sounds like a good movie.
Quoted: Set in early-'80s Britain, Shane Meadows' This Is England tracks a fatherless boy through a budding friendship with a skinhead — and into dangerous territory with a new breed of outsider.

Sounds like a must see!
Quoted: La Vie En Rose (La Môme) review by Cynthia Fuchs -- Angry, needy, and almost painfully lovely, Marion Cotillards Édith Piaf fills all emotional space in La Vie En Rose.

Dotting for Shiwani, fellow Anglophile. The first time I dotted it the wrong picture came up...

Sounds like a good cheeky cat film...a zany, madcap romp, if you will.

I was excited about this movie before, but as the reviewer here says, it sounds kind of "fratty" ... not my idea of a good time.

Anyone seen Errol Morris' new film?
1 FaverViewed: 2 TimesQuoted: Is it possible for a photograph to change the world? Photographs taken by soldiers in Abu Ghraib prison changed the war in Iraq and changed Americas image of itself. Yet, a central mystery remains. Did the notorious Abu Ghraib photographs constitute evidence of systematic abuse by the American military, or were they documenting the aberrant behavior of a few bad apples? We set out to examine the context of these photographs. Why were they taken? What was happening outside the frame? We talked directly to the soldiers who took the photographs and who were in the photographs. Who are these people? What were they thinking? Over two years of investigation, we amassed a million and a half words of interview transcript, thousands of pages of unredacted reports, and hundreds of photographs. The story of Abu Ghraib is still shrouded in moral ambiguity, but it is clear what happened there. The Abu Ghraib photographs serve as both an expose and a coverup. An expose, because the photographs offer us a glimpse of the horror of Abu Ghraib; and a coverup because they convinced journalists and readers they had seen everything, that there was no need to look further. In recent news reports, we have learned about the destruction of the Abu Zubaydah interrogation tapes. A coverup. It has been front page news. But the coverup at Abu Ghraib involved thousands of prisoners and hundreds of soldiers. We are still learning about the extent of it. Many journalists have asked about the smoking gun of Abu Ghraib. It is the wrong question. As Philip Gourevitch has commented, Abu Ghraib is the smoking gun. The underlying question that we still have not resolved, four years after the scandal: how could American values become so compromised that Abu Ghraib and the subsequent coverup could happen?
