Sorta' behind-the-scenes look at Sky Captain and the World of Tommorrow. It's pretty anticipated....
eta: That's a NYT link so you need a login....
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ita, where did you get that top-grossing comic book movies list?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am Not Pleased that I'm out of town the opening weekend of Sky Captain. I have to figure out if I can make my usual buddy for this kind of movie wait, or if I can make someone else go with me. Otherwise, I'll just see it by myself, which would be fine too.
Most quotable line ever: "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."
OH HELL YEAH.
Also, I give young people extra time to see stuff -- at least I know I'm terrible about seeing things after the fact.

Thanks for the link, tommy. It seems NYT is having some server problems at the moment but I'll try it later. I'm already logged in as a member there.

"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
Since I arrived at the theater too late to see Suspect Zero or Without a Paddle last night, I ended up seeing Hero. Such a beautiful movie (though I agree with those who say that CTHD was better). I did have an involuntary moment of laughter (as did the rest of the audience) when Snow first started batting away a bazillion arrows with her scarves, though .

From everything I've heard about those other two movies, you definitely had the gods on your side, arrival-wise.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Since I arrived at the theater too late to see Suspect Zero
Any time is too late to see Suspect Zero.
Except for Carrie-Anne Moss (who I would watch reading the phone book to a dog), there is nothing about this movie that did not completely suck. It's like a bad parody of a bad X-Files episode, only longer and less coherent.

Up with the sun
I thought Not Another Teen Movie was much funnier than it had any right to be. And Josie & the Pussycats is really, really, really good and extremely quotable, though not many people saw it. I never knew it was Rachel Leigh Cook in that anti-drug ad.
ita, is Grease generally considered a teen movie? While the characters are meant to be in high school, I wouldn't call it a "teen movie," both because all of the actors were obviously significantly older, and because I don't think teenagers were really meant to identify with the main characters in the way they're meant to identify with the leads of a teen film like The Breakfast Club or Save the Last Dance.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I still have a big love for select teen movies- 10 Things I Hate About You stands out, and I like What a Girl Wants and of course The Princess Diaries. (Although that may not count as "teen" per se.)
