This is the best movie I have seen this year, easily.
It is about a gay female couple their children and sperm donor.
If films such as the Big Chill, and Train Spotting captured something perfectly so in its own way does this movie. It is a sideways look that is funny and on the money about the meaning of family.
I think I just blew an embolism trying to parse your second sentence.
Someone call Leonard Maltin and tell him he can relax.
Yes. Nice movie. I didn’t know Keith Moon was a lesbian.
But the stars are only actors, pretending.
That was also my feeling.

You have to watch the movie first, Leonard could still be under threat.

That’s funny and is most likely the source of the Chief’s embolism.
That’s what they said (ok, not exactly) about Townsend (“Girls of fifteen, sexually knowing!!!”) and then they found kiddie porn on his computer (yea, research project, I know). I guess, you just never know. Although in Moon’s case it would be especially surprising.
I hated it. It would have been SO damn nice to see a movie about two grown women in a long term relationship where one didn’t end up screwing a man. And they didn’t show ANY skin when the women were having sex…the one was watching MAN porn…but they showed almost everything when the guy and girl screwed.
Instead of feeling like we were included in the movie scene (not just immediately sent off to Art films) it left me feeling even more segregated. Sex is still covered…girl still wants dick.
grrrr

Go watch the final episode of Season 3 of The Wire, you may experience vindication.

Yeah, Julianne Moore is one of the great triumvirate, along with Nikki Kidman and Laura Linney, who hold between them the distinction of not only being Oscar nominees, but also sporting blaze peltage, and not being overly shy about who knows it…
Don’t ask me how I know that.
ETA: Change the spelling of the title, Einstein, “The Kids Are Alright” is a documentary about The Who. The crapfest you’re referencing is entitled “The Kids Are All Right”.
Julianne Moore is the P.
You’ve been just itching to use that term in conversation for months, haven’t you, Doc? :roflmao:
From the first posting of this movie by the Doc (made a week ago) I thought it would be good. However, I have tried to watch it three times and can’t make it past 20 minutes. Does it get better later on?
Except for the photography, it would seem like some kid made a video about his “alternative” family to show on youtube.
As big a fan I am of ginger pubic hair, and coincidentally, Julianne Moore, I think that film’s a bit crap.

I kind of wondered about that myself but since I couldn’t really inform it in any way, I thought well either this was organized by Warren Beatty for his own thing or it might have been according to that Will Farrel song: “Oh well, love me sexy.”
I’m interested to hear your point of view battery9, but I’m straight and it was good by my equations. I think it’s not so off the mark that she wanted dick. It seemed to me to just fit the story that’s all. I’m sure there are other stories of women, their children and expreiences that are different, but I don’t think it’s right to say because this isn’t that movie it’s not good. I don’t watch movies for the polemic, if it’s there in the subtext fine, but if it’s not I can still enjoy the show. Is that not right? Life’s hard work.
Call out to the Doc. A very fine movie.
yep, the movie wasn’t bad.
It’s not being pedantic, convict, when it’s the actual title of something.
I know you aren’t a native English speaker, but, sorry, sometimes that means you have try just a little harder.
If anyone wanted to know more about the movie, and did a search based on your original title, all they’d be likely to find would be the 1979 Jeff Stein Who documentary, or maybe the 1965 single.
Never mind, obviously, that either of those results would probably end up being much more satisfying.
Russet rug extravaganzae notwithstanding.

Quite right. Love me sexy.
I saw that Will Farrel movie yesterday on HBO. You can say, “Love me sexy” to anything.
I just did a google search and the current movie is first on the page. :s

You know, your father and I will never understand why you insist on trying all these different crazy hairdos and all this extreme makeup and everything.
You have such a pretty face and are such a natural beauty all on your own.
This has been another episode of 20 Seconds with Fox’s Mom.
