There were tons of OMWF vibes in the whole thing. It was great.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

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 skipped a shitload of posts a while back - have people talked about the trailer for SW:E3:RotS? 'Cuz that flick is lookin' to be much better than 1 & 2. Lots of darkness, good characters being killed by evil ones, more better S/F.
Also, that General Grievous dude (a cyborg) was totally cool in the iClone Wars episodes, and he's a major part of RotS too.
Oh, and I was bummed that Sith-wannabe Asajj Ventress had to die in a CW episode. She could fight as good as Anakin, but in a full-length skirt. Supposedly she was supposed to be the character that eventually went to Darth Maul in Ep1. All the cool Sith have to die before the original trilogy (not a spoiler, just a guess), except for Sidious and Vader. Oh well, at least Sidious is cool, and he has a wicked "coming out" scene in the trailer.
edit for spelling

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just heard some on-set info from Batman Begins.
Apparently, the Batmobile is that cool, and Christian Bale is that hot.
I think the dude in question got to drive the b-mobile. I need to verify.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Whoa, you might want to whitefont that, ita. It's pretty specific.

Oh, just try and make me.
More seriously though, it does sound like it may be as cool as I need it to be.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Well, I never had any doubt about Bale once he regained the weight from The Machinist, but it's good to hear that coolness abounds.

King's Game was quite enjoyable. Nice performances and interesting twists. I doubt it will get a release beyond the festival circuit but, apparently, it was the highest grossing film in Denmark last year.
It features Anders Berthelsen of Mifune and Italian for Beginners, two of my all-time faves.

If I only had a brain...
I think the dude in question got to drive the b-mobile.
Yes, but did he get to drive Christian Bale?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
From Premiere magazine;
"When I first put on the costume, it made me want to fucking growl and howl," says Bale. "I always tried to remember that initial feeling, and that the purpose of the suit is to be intimidating. To me, there wasn't any other option but to go very hard-core with it. If you don't cease to be a man, you just look like a fool."
I love this guy.

Just as I was recovering from Driving Mr. Bale, there's the fucking howling.
