So apparantly Electra is about as wreched as Catwoman, give or take?

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

I can't even.
Funny: "Hmmm, where have I seen this before? Oh, yes, I saw it Wednesday night on television. Except her hair was pink. And I had eight more bucks in my wallet." -- Tom Long, DETROIT NEWS
Sad. I'll still see it. Have to. Source material compulsion.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I saw some trailers for it last night and yeah...they were pretty bad. But I'll probably see it, too. Goran! Pretty!
But I'll spend the movie wishing JG's chicken cutlets fall out of her bodice.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Regarding your tagline
Heh. I had about 20 different new taglines at various points in the movie. I want to go see it again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Synopsis of Crash (no, not that one, another one coming out this year):
A provocative, unflinching look at the complexities of racial conflict in America, CRASH is that rare cinematic event - a film that challenges audiences to question their own prejudices. Diving headlong into the diverse melting pot of post-9/11 Los Angeles, this compelling urban drama tracks the volatile intersections of a multi-ethnic cast, examining fear and bigotry from multiple perspectives as characters careen in and out of one another's lives. No one is safe in the battle zones of racial strife. And no one is immune to the simmering rage that sparks violence - and changes lives...
Funny, powerful, and always unpredictable, CRASH boldly explores the gray area between black and white, victim and aggressor?and finds no easy solutions. The dynamic feature directing debut of Emmy Award-winning writer/producer Paul Haggis, CRASH stars Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Jennifer Esposito, William Fichtner, Brendan Fraser, Terrence Howard, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Thandie Newton, Ryan Phillippe and Larenz Tate
How pretty is that cast?

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
I have heard he likes the young-uns.
You don't have to parboil 'em, for one thing.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
That is a pretty pretty cast, ita.
So, has no one else seen "In Good Company" yet? So I can chat about it?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Plus, when the HHGTTG promo came on and the words Don't Panic! popped up in large and friendly letters, Hec and I were the only people in the entire (nearly packed) theater who made happy noises.
That's better than my experience. My friends and I were excited, but from the rest of the audience there were some grumblings and someone said "That was really stupid!" loudly.
My favorite preview experience was when the Escape from L.A. trailer first showed Kurt Russel's face and my friend shouted "SNAKE PLISKEN! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!!!"
BWAH!
My most memorable preview experience was going to the midnight showing of Episode I. The most ridiculous amount of energy I've seen in a movie theatre (sad the movie didn't live up to it.) The preview of "The Beach" plays. Suddenly hundreds of geeks are booing Leonardo DiCaprio in unison and then his female costar appears on the screen in a bikini and the booing is immediately replaced by a Keaunu-esque "Woah."

That, I would almost have paid to have witnessed.
I did attend a preview of the then highly anticipated Final Fantasy. The audience mood change from before to after the film--from eager to "That was three hours I'll never get back"--would only have amazed you if you hadn't seen FF yourself.
