I never read the H2G2 books, so maybe that's why I didn't really care for the movie. Honestly, even if I had read the books, I don't see how I would have liked the film. YBMV.
Also, no Serenity trailer love.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

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.

Here's rookie Barry Bonds
Here's Barry in 2001
Hard to tell without shirtless shots, but he definitely filled out and then some.
ita, I leave it to you to produce shirtless pictures of Orlando.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I heard it was 15 pounds.
I'll defer, since I didn't read any direct reports, just some fan speculation. I think Orlando was interviewed for EW, and might have given a figure. Any weight he puts on will be fine with me, especially since I can't imagine him not putting on weight and then wearing chain mail.
Some of it may not even be for the film specifically, just regular age-related weight gain. Most guys I know put on at least 10lbs between 25 and 30. Of course, most men I know are actuaries, so I may not be the best judge.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
New Line is making a movie of Dante's Inferno.
The fuck ? Also, they want to make movies of Purgatorio and Paradiso ? How the hell do they plan to do that, when nothing happens ?! I don't even see what the purpose of an Inferno movie is. It has two characters, and they see a bunch of stuff in hell, and they meet Satan. And that's it. There's no real story to it.

IMDB's Orlando page is telling me that they're filming PotC 2 & 3 simultaneously. Is this true?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
15 lb. makes much more sense. A 6'5" linebacker who already weighs 250 can talk casually of adding 60 lbs. (although I think he'll be sorry later in life), but I don't think a guy I can pick up one-handed can do that kind of thing without a thyroid condition.
Sheesh, Barry's NSM with the subtle, huh? He is like those Hollywood women who get famous and then get their noses done. Like, honey, it's too late now. We know what you look like already.
Concur on the WTF for making a movie out of Inferno. For one thing, you'd have to stop the movie every 10 minutes and explain who all the dead people are, because Dante was the world's original name-dropper.

That's what I heard. It's the LoTR model - cuts the production costs for the expensive sets etc.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's that I hear from the West? The sound of ita's arm being twisted unbearably?
No, just the neighbor kids shrieking again.

Hey, I'll have you know that took ten whole minutes.
