Angel ,'Conviction (1)'
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.

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.
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.
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.
oops, sorry Tom.
I did not know that Bill Nighy is going to be in the 2nd and 3rd PotC movies.
Is Yun Fat still in, or was that rumour? Keith Richards too.
as well as archive footage of the late Marlon Brando, who played Superman's father Jor-El in the first Superman film in 1978.
Whuh?
I haven't heard anything about this movie that gives me the warm fuzzies, except for the Hugh Laurie Perry White, and we all know how that turned out.
OMG, he would look like PW.
