Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe if it were Julianne being forgotten...

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

Anyone else intrigued by The Forgotten ?

I'm intrigued, and then the kicker is the last shot of the trailer with the roof being blown off. Cause that's fucking cool.

Hey. New board.

Want to see Sky Captain. Was going to see Garden State in L.A. tonight, but now, probably not. Oh well. Now off to try to find a Forgotten trailer...

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Why the hell didn't anyone tell me there was a new John Waters movie?!?!?!?!????

Starring Tracy Ullman, Selma Blair, Chris Isaac, and, of course, Mink Stole and Patty Hearst.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Just got back from a screening of "Motorcycle Diaries." Really powerful and beautiful--it's about a famous trip Che Guevara made through Latin America when he was 23. Even though Gael Garcia Bernal is annoyingly ubiquitous these days, I was incredibly impressed with him. A lovely performance, where he manages to make the interior life of this character clear, without ever "acting." And I had never seen the guy who plays his best friend, who RAWKED.

Really? I only know of four movies he's been in, and only two are from this year (Bad Education and Motorcycle Diaries, both of which I'm looking forward to seeing). What else is he in, so I can track him down? Er, possibly I'm a bit of a fangirl.

It's been mentioned by someone on the board, if not in this thread. They were going to a preview screening with John Waters appearing in person.

It looks intriguing, but I have a fear that Farscape/Star Trek-style omnipotent aliens are going to turn out to be behind it, and the real world isn't real at all. Which was an interesting twist back when I first saw it. In entertainment from the late 60s.
