    love is a battlefield, holli.

    A, it's gory but not so scary, i don't think - aronofsky literalizes natalie portman's character's demons a bit too much for them to stay frightening for long. lots of wincy body horror, though. the rodarte costumes are good enough that i might appreciate the sisters mulleavy at long last; the regular costume design is extremely good, as well, and makes me revisit the thought of spandex in a way which really isn't safe. vincent cassel remains french and excellent. i wish thom yorke's "black swan" had popped up (overheard ipod on the subway?) at some point. worth seeing for the fripperies.

    13 Going on 30 is stellar and devastating if you stop it just before the “happy ending”.  They earned that harsh ending.  Boo.

    01 nope
    02 OMG YES
    03 no. but i dont know why.
    04 no. but i am considering going. i will let ben be the decider.

    shoot. i just now realized that 13 going on 30 is a movie, and not a general theme (where a bunch of us women who are 30ish watch movies that are maybe also appropriate for 13 year olds.) (i would still like to come.)

    we have yet to attempt the buffy immersion. i wonder if it might help to start with "once more, with feeling," but the ongoing plotlines would be a bit difficult to explain.
