Was there ever mention of where the rocket was supposed to be headed once the Earth was destroyed behind it?
Barsoom, maybe.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Funny you should say that, dcp. I Googled to get your reference. But EW mentions Conran's next project is an adaptation of A Princess of Mars.

Conran's next project
Huh. I didn't know that.
I guess the rocket must have been headed for that empty planet next door, the one that everybody knows about, but no one mentions.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Just saw Deliverance. That's an intense 45 minutes in the middle there, especially when the wind and rain are doing their thing outside.
You'll never hear the phrase "squeal like a pig" in the same light again, I'd bet.
I love that movie. It's pure grit and horror, and captures the mind-set of the New South perfectly: in love with its past but terrified by those living closer to it.

Hey. New board.
I watched The Shining tonight.
I'll be huddled in a ball rocking slowly back and forth on my futon if anybody needs me.

Trust my rage
Was there ever mention of where it was supposed to be headed?
I assumed it was some sort of Star Trek Genesis type thing as in re-creating Earth, but I actually think heading to Mars is a better idea. DH saw King Kong, but I totally missed it. I did, however, love the homage to Star Wars and Dagobah.
Also, must agree with P-C that Polly was extrememly irritating, althugh I get that it fit the trope.
Oh, and I love the fact that they released all the animals.

You'll never hear the phrase "squeal like a pig" in the same light again, I'd bet.One of my favorite live trivia questions, from the Disturbing Movie Scenes category: "We don't know who's pitchin', but Ned Beatty's catchin'!"

Art Crawl!!!
I'm trying to decide between seeing Hero, Sky Captain or Wimbledon this weekend. Right now I'm leaning towards Sky Captain even though I know I need to see Hero on the big screen.

I saw Ringu yesterday. Aside from its having a less annoying little boy and the one freaky shot of Sadako's eye peeking out from behind her hair, I think the US remake was better.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
DH is not a man who net surfs, and he never reads posting boards of any sort, he hasn't the patience to eavesdrop or engage in conversation with The Humans, even just pixilated words of Humans. He pays bills online, and downloads gorgeous landscape and nature photos, and scoots around to various wholesalers' sites, in the limited time he spends online. He is fondly tolerant of, even interested in, tales of my "imaginary friends."
I want to see Sky Captain, he's all, "Why?" He wasn't impressed with the trailers we've seen, and hasn't been interested enough to read reviews.
"Lots of people have liked it. Said it was pretty, and interestingly done, if a little spare of plot."
"What 'people'?"
"The Buffistas Movie Thread."
"Oh. Okay, what time do you want to go?"
I find it both amusing and rather telling that he'll pay attention to the taste of the Buffistas sooner than inquire about formal pro reviews. Hee.
