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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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

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.

Mostly Orlando, shirtless, in chronological order.

God, the things you people make me do.

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.

I'm getting the pig!

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

Huh. It's taking much longer to drool over the pics. Especially the one with his eyes closed titled Troy.

Yum!

"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

Bale gained slightly over 60 pounds between his last movie role and the next one, but it took him from Auschwitz survivor-style emaciation in The Machinist to being Batman. I don't think you can quickly gain that much weight without (1) starting out from an unhealthily thin state; or (2) ending up unhealthily bloated.

I remember reading that Bale lost 60 pounds for The Machinist -- was his original weight Batman weight? Lucky wife. Seven weeks it took him to make up the difference.

I think he hovered around 190 for the last few years prior, as a result of the American Psycho workouts. He actually way overshot up to my weight class during the prep for Batman Begins, but the suits noticed he'd gained about 20-30 pounds of fat on top of the muscle and had him work it back off.

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.

That's why Hollywood creates one! Yay!

The Onion-esque nature of all the other news items in the sidebar on that page make me think the Inferno reportage might not be serious.
