'Selfless'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
By the way, Ty Burr's review of The Bourne Supremacy, one of the few summer movies I've actually been anticipating, is pretty good (I mean well-written, but also positive):
Best line:
Karl Urban of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Riddick," sporting his third radically different haircut in as many movies
To prove to yourself that nothing can be as bad as Catwoman?
Nah -- Sim0ne, The Messenger, and The League of Extraordinary Gentleman are all on my "worse than Catwoman" list already.
The Village just sounds like it might be really funny.

Admittedly I haven't seen Catwoman but, I don't know, I've seen Daredevil.
That sounds almost ridiculously bad enough to be a must-see.
If it was anyone else I'd consider it, but it's going to be as horrendously pompous and mannered and slow and self-important as Unbreakable or The Sixth Sense. I mean, a Coen bros, Lynch, or early Raimi, or even an Ed Wood would make it unmissable, but Shamalamadingdong is so utterly devoid of wit that it won't even be funny.

I'll admit to liking Ben Affleck more than he probably deserves, but no, not even close.
Daredevil was a trainwreck with no plot, but it wasn't painfully unfun to watch. Plus, Colin Farrell.

Yes! Such are the makings of unintentional camp comedy gold! But I think it might be better on DVD where I can mock it out loud.]
There's a theater here called "Brew and View" which has tables and pizza and beer and what-not. They show second-run movies. That would be a fun place to see it.
When I saw Scream there an audience member yelled out the ending in the first few minutes of the film.

I saw a preview screening of The Blair Witch Project there. It was a bad choice -- between the screen being hung slightly crooked, and the beer & greasy food, I've never been more motion sick in my life.
But I also saw a double bill of South Park and the first Austin Powers there, which was loads of fun.
Oh man.
Now I understand the need for the viral marketing.
I got motion-sick from The Blair Witch Project. And Dancer in the Dark. Stupid hand-held cameras....

I boycotted that movie, out of sheer crankiness. I lived two blocks away from the local art-house theater at the time, and the line would stretch past our door, filled with obnoxious people. Blech.
Also, the fact that I get seriously motion-sick has made sure I'll never see that movie.

Oh, yeah.
