# 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?
Mal: Take your people and go. Captain: You would have done the same. Mal: We can already see I haven't.

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.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

But when the on-screen prosthetics peeled off for his swashbuckling leading man role in Pirates of the Caribbean, suddenly, all bets were off. The girls swooned and hysteria took over. Nearly 200 fan websites sprang up overnight
Ahem! He had an assload of fansites shortly after Fellowship. As someone who might have been paying attention to this stuff, it's insane how hard he took off with so little source material. The juggernaut already had inertia by the time PotC came out.
