The Lemony Snicket trailer is online. Looks good.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Well, I had no interest in seeing The Village (though I've never been a fan of movies that are supposed to freak you out. Call it horror or thriller or what have you.) but the spoiler amuses me. Only Shamylan movie I've seen is Unbreakable, which I actually liked (and seems at odds with the general consensus here.)
Didn't like Swordfish. It started off only mildly ridiculous, but then got caught in this bizarre death spiral of absurdity where it kept topping itself until we get to the completely over-the-top climax.
Wow, looking at the upcoming releases for this summer, there's nothing I really want to see. Though I do need to see if I can find a local theatre showing Zatoichi.

I liked it, but I'm a comics geek.

You can compare and contrast The Grudge with Ju-On (The Grudge)
I think the Japanese version definitely looks to be the creepier of the two.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Without getting into a thing about it, this sentence pops up every time we discuss Unbreakable here, and I still don't know what it's supposed to be about, other than putting the comics geeks who didn't like the film (of which there are a fair number) on the defensive.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, I like most of that movie, in all its trashy computer hacker action flick glory.
It's no Hackers.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Is this an English version of a Japanese original, similar to The Ring?
Not quite. Apparently it is specifically the fourth in the set - just the first made in the US. And from what I understand it's not the kind of series where plots and characters roll on - there's a setup and it rolls across unrelatd characters.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Heh. I'm about midway through the Salon article on Donnie Darko, and all I can think is that the thing is all about Hypertime!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I still need to see that.

I loved it before I became a comics geek.
