They hired Parker Posey, and she's *not* playing Lois Lane? That's just wrong.
Yeah. He's my hero.

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.

I wonder if Jackman will be poor Dead!Jonathan in flashbacks and Eve Marie Saint will be live, widowed Martha in current time?

The news isn't good. For example...
Really bad. You just won't believe how vastly, staggeringly, jaw-droppingly bad it is. I mean, you might think that The Phantom Menace was a hopelessly misguided attempt to reinvent a much-loved franchise by people who, though well-intentioned, completely failed to understand what made the original popular - but that's just peanuts to the Hitchhiker's movie. Listen.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I posted that link a couple of weeks ago, jimi.

I don't know if Jessica's around, but she's seen the movie, and she *loved* it, and thinks that the reviewer is on crack.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Almost all the bigtime British reviewers--The Independent, BBC, the Guardian, etc, LOVED it.

Between that and Jessica's approval, I'm assuming it will be great fun.

I did not know that Bill Nighy is going to be in the 2nd and 3rd PotC movies.
