Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I dunno if Betsy already posted this here, or if it was in a part of the Natter thread I skipped.

But this snarky recap of King Arthur is hysterical.

Sir Bors: How many enemy men are there?
Arthur: About 60,000, including the CG armies.
Sir Bors: And how many are we?
Arthur: Including retainers, I count 11.
Sir Lancelot: I’ll just call you “Aragorn” then.
Sir Tristan: What’s a wealthy Roman family doing up here in the northern wastes? That doesn’t make any sense.
Arthur: Shut up. Everyone just shut up.

Well they didn't play it at Comic-Con, but the WB finally got their act together and put the Batman Begins teaser online: batmanbegins.warnerbros.com/

Pretty standard teaser with lotsa Bale and almost no Batman. Production values look pretty solid though. And no Bat-nipples in sight.

Art Crawl!!!

It looks good. Wonder why they didn't play it at Comic-Con -- you know, since they had it.

Hey. New board.

All of these men are hot. Except for Bloom. I don't like him.

Hey. New board.

If you're like me and collect trailers, here's a direct link to the high-quality Quicktime version of the Batman trailer.

ETA: Oops, cereal.

Yes, Dillon, not Damon. (D'uh!)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh dear.

Bale seems to have found the exact voice to send me into a whimpering pile of cannot wait for this movie.

Meep.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Not surprising that he'd hit it eventually, as he uses a different accent for every role.

Except for Colin Farrell, who is kind of icky

Colin's hot when viewed upon a screen, from which it is impossible to contract any of numerous sexually transmitted diseases. In person, I'd guess NSM.

Yeah, true. Can he just keep this one? Please?

I'm a little shocked at my reaction.

Hey. New board.

I am now of the mind that 2005 will be my favorite movie summer in a while. With Serenity AND Batman, how could it not be?

I mean, 2003 had X-Men 2, and, well, nothing else I cared about. 2004 has Bourne Supremacy. Guess 2002 had the Identity. But I'm not big on the summer blockbusters, typically.

I guess Spider-Man was in there somewhere, both 1 and 2. But the excitement level for that was not nearly as high.
