(Were they just on ice, or were they on ice-skates?)
I hope just on ice, because didn't we get enough stupid fights on ice skates with whichever bad one had Der Governator in it?
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

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.

Umm, I never saw that. . . but if it's Christian Bale and Liam Neeson -- isn't it bound to be better?
(It looks good in the promo.)

I think it's just the thought of Batman having Bat Skates at the ready that takes me to an Adam West/Joel Schumacher place and breaks my brain.

OK, I have to say, Liam Neeson's facial hair might be enough to keep me away from that.
I didn't realize that Neeson was in it, and the first thing I said was "Dr. Kinsey was one of Bruce's mentors?"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw "A Very Long Engagement" Last night and I loved it. Audrey Tatou is lovely, and the swooniness of Jeunet's directorial style totally worked for me, as did the multi-layered story. It's incredibly beautiful--but not twee or pretty, which is what the trsiler made me afraid it was going to be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
and fans of the books might be bugged by him, though I haven't read them myself and can't swear by that.
The kids (10-ish, I think) behind me at the screening hated the changes from the book. They were complaining loudly the instant the (ohmigodsogorgeous) credit started to roll. ( "But she did sign with her left hand, that was the whole point! And they didn't even go on the airplane!!" It was adorable.)
I thought Jim Carrey was near-unwatchable as Count Olaf. I can't say he ruined the film for me, because I thought that outside the production design, it was pretty pedestrian anyway, but he really needed to be reigned in. A lot.

Oh -- when I saw Ocean's 12, I saw a trailer for Constantine. It didn't look as bad as I expected, though they could have culled the only redeemable moments just for the trailer.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The next project for Wes Anderson and writer Noah Baumbach is a stop-motion animation adaption of Roald Dahl's The Fantastic Mr. Fox.
