Last Saturday's new Doctor Who had a spectacularly creepy kid. Winsome and blond. In a gas mask.
I agree. Wonderful episode, it made me ant to do something I call the Gasmask Orphans. Cronenberg meets (or meats if you want) Oliver Twist.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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.
I've seen lots of Batman Begins onscreen -- billboards are that too, plus The Honeymooners and Mr & Mrs Smith.
I get my movie news from the Internets, or from the sides of buses these days.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I've got a list of movie releases synched to my Treo. I see nine movies being released on Friday (some are limited release, though).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Oh, I guess I have seen ads for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. That one is a definite "filtered out to protect my brain" type of thing. Didn't know about The Honeymooners, though.
I swear, I haven't seen a single bus- or train-poster all spring long. Whereas, Troy, last year, had Vapid Serious Face (plus flowing locks) all over everything that moved.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Batman Begins and the Adam Sandler movie opening this week are the only two summer movies I can name at all, and the latter I can't actually name
Something about football and jail.

The only movie this summer I'm looking forward to is Howl's Moving Castle, which I haven't seen any publicity for.

THE LONGEST YARD - it's a remake of a Burt Reynolds movie from the 70s (one of the better ones).

I am so psyched for Mr. And Mrs. Smith.
I'm all over that one.
Kingdom of Heaven and Monster In Law were all over the place too.

If I only had a brain...
Apparently many of Padme's scenes hit the cutting-room floor.
ALL of the dialogue and scenes regarding the creation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic is gone. All of it. Even things I saw included in footage shown at CIII. Rick said when we were in the "Spectacular" footage thing that they had to hack another 15 minutes and here's where it got cut. It's a damn shame. In hacking all this, Lucas removed three of Bail's scenes and the majority of Padme's subplot that makes her more than an oblivious wife whose conversations with her husband go, shockingly, like an episode of the anime Inuyasha:
