I need to resolve to go see it again next weekend for the yarn sequence alone .
We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Although I bet its numbers drop off pretty sharply, as most of the diehard fans have probably seen it by now.
I think you're probably right -- I have no idea how big the repeat audience is going to be. (I mean, I've seen it 4 times, but only accidentally, and 2 of those didn't count for box office.)

# 7 Gong Fu = Kung Fu Hustle, right?
Because I saw that this weekend and it is now one of my favorite movies ever ever ever. So entertaining. Did ya'll talk about it here at all?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can someone who's about to see HHGttG confirm (or someone with a good memory that already has): during the opening credit sequence, whenever Douglas Adams' name is on the screen, the lyrics are saying "So long"?

Whoa.
I cannot confirm that -- but that's really cool if true.

Hmph. I thought I'd check the version that's here, but it doesn't seem to have the titles.

From ScifiWire:
Bloom also confirmed that former Rolling Stone Keith Richards will play Jack Sparrow's father: "I've heard those rumors, too, and I believe there may be some truth in that, yes."

That's a very firm position he's taking on the rumour.
