So, what's the advance word on The Jacket? The trailer looks interesting.
I guess I should read this Hitchhiker book everyone's talking about, eh?
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Does anyone have a cite for the (crazy, wrong, ludicrous) H2G2 change? Because if they could afford to do the FX on the TV show, they can afford to
Well, the FX on the show were about on par with Doctor Who, so that's not saying much, although I thought that was part of its charm.
I agree with you on How to get Ahead though - they did pretty well there. I do like the casting of Rockwell, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The head spoiler was on AICN. It's mentioned in one of the reviews I linked to a while back. (I'd threadsuck and find it myself except that I'm completely swamped at work today and really shouldn't even be here.)

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
In other news, I think my DH may be going for a Section 8 discharge (if the Foreign Service has those). He pretty much only speaks in movie quotes anyway, but apparently in staff meeting yesterday when asked what he wanted, he responded "I want Tina Sparkle to walk through that door and say 'The Finance Minister's broken both his legs and I want to dance with YOU!'"
His secretary told me this, in a worried tone of voice. My response was "That was unexpected."
I am loving this so much. Raquel and her DH are my new heroes.
Also, that martial arts movie looks impressive. Well, not so much the movie, actually, just the martial arts. Which is what that trailer was advertising, so that's all good.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I personally thought that they should have had two completely dissimilar heads. Like, I dunno, Cary Elwes and Steve Buscemi.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Yeah, that'd rock. What are the rules for spoilers of upcoming movies, BTW? I mean something like this which I'd call just a basic part of the premise of H2G2 - is that a spoiler?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Like, I dunno, Cary Elwes and Steve Buscemi.
Or Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito?

I have a plan.
I don't care what it's about.
I've seen this movie.
I have this movie :-)

I'd say it's a spoiler because it's a major change from the books if Zaphod's only got one head for 2/3 of the film.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
"I want Tina Sparkle to walk through that door and say 'The Finance Minister's broken both his legs and I want to dance with YOU!'"
LOVE.
Who's playing Zaphod?
