Marry, F*ck, or Kill (and a movie trailer)

Banlieue 13: Ultimatum



What's that? A sequel to the bestest free-running-cops-and-robbers-action-movie evar? Ok, the only free-running-cops-and-robbers-action-movie (that I know of), but the point stands. A sequel to Banlieue 13 coming out in February? The gods have been kind.

Next up, a new, and hopefully regular feature here at [livejournal.com profile] schmevil, Marry F*ck, or Kill. A quick rundown for the unfamiliar: Marry, F*ck, or Kill is a game, usually involving large consumptions of sugary substances (when teenlets are playing), or alcohol (if aged degenerates are playing). Three characters, people, animals, vegetables or minerals are given, and you must choose one to marry, one to f*ck and one to kill. No fence sitting. No halfsies. Ya gotta choose. So for our inaugural game:

The Trio from Harry Potter: Marry, F*ck or Kill

Wicked ponytail action there! *tries to brush up on her French* I STILL have to fight the preconceived notion that French movies are surreal and end with bleak despair.

Is it bad I'd marry Hermoine just so she'd look after me? XD You know she would! She'd be a bit of a nag but it's worth it.

F*cking Harry would be mega bragging rights.

Ron is a drip.

Ha! I have the same problem with French movies. It doesn't help that the French movies that do make it onto IFC or whatever, usually ARE surreal and end with bleak despair.

Hermione would probably be a great wife but I picked Ron. I don't know, I think we'd be weirdly compatible. Under all the goofballery, he's clever, loyal and passionate. A much better match for me than know-it-all Hermione. Especially since I'm a know-it-all.

Hmmm. I haven't had the same experience with French films. The problem is that not enough are released in the US and seem to be unavailable anywhere.

There are more French films released in Canada, for obvious reasons, but quite often, the ones that get the most publicity are the existential films. Don't get me wrong, I love art house cinema, experimental cinema, but sometimes you just want a solid, entertaining story. I think there's still some shock that European movies aren't all strange comedies and arty tragedies. It's hard to shake that kind of rep.
