I'm surprised by how much people seemed to like this on here. Just watched it and while I do think CT was great and I liked the fact that it was dark throughout, I didn't think it was that great overall. Aside from Mavis, a lot of the characters didn't work for me and it was just missing something. I feel like it was very close to being excellent but somehow just missed the mark although I'm not sure exactly where or how just yet.

If you never saw the SNL sketch from 2008, now's a really good time to watch it.

Now she can focus on making her first good film.

you went there? making that speech was more important and impressive than that, regardless of how good this imaginary film would be.

One of my lesbian friends posted on Facebook that she and her boo are "celebrating Valentine's Day Ellen Page style" and someone commented "You're pregnant?"

yes
― Nhex, Saturday, 15 February 2014 20:16 (ten years ago) link
lol I had the same thought as Morbs.

how sorry a track record does a celebrity have to have before their coming out is page 36 material?
The SNL sketch wasn't bad though... except no ending, cuz it's SNL.

(I mean, it's been a great career move for a trivia answer like George Takei)

Her arm movements in this video are cracking me up

Aw, that was so nice!

except no ending, cuz it's SNL.
Actually, that one has a pretty sweet ending.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 15 February 2014 23:12 (ten years ago) link
but.. that would mean Dr. Morbius was disparaging something he hadn't seen!

Dude had a plenty decent career in acting, voice acting and public service before coming out all of nine years ago. Do you ever just shut the fuck up?

that's a shame. there nothing positive to be said about siding with morbs on this one. nothing.
― i lost my shoes on acid (jed_), Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:15 (ten years ago) link
she can still be gay and not have been in a decent movie ffs
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:19 (ten years ago) link
that was not the implication.

I'm surprised Veg didn't like Whip It!.

it wasn't anywhere near as good as it thought it was

i dare say she's talented, she's probably in movies i would never see or care about and will continue to be in them. but the tenderness/intensity/nervousness of her speech here is more important than anything (possibly) she'll do professionally. i felt a lot of love for her and was moved by it.
― i lost my shoes on acid (jed_), Sunday, 16 February 2014 04:43 (ten years ago) link
as a straight non-entity who's seen one movie in the theatre since inception, morbs' comment seemed pretty catty
probably a fitting welcome to the sisterhood tho i guess

so it is great to hear ellen page, oscar nominee for juno (2007)
― jaymc, Sunday, 16 February 2014 06:52 (ten years ago) link
wasn't she one of barbara walters's most fascinating people of 2007?
like was michael cera, similarly aged star of "superbad," which was probably a much bigger commercial hit, a baba wawa holiday go-to?
― jaymc, Sunday, 16 February 2014 06:53 (ten years ago) link
no b/c "juno" was a jason reitman film and socially relevant, wtf
b/c jason bateman listens to the sonic youth cover of the carpenters' "superstar"?
