But Batman Begins and RotS are everywhere. Madagascar, Mr & Mrs Smith, Bewitched, The Island, War of the Worlds-- we're running out of weekend to contain the onslaught of advertising overkill. I'm just surprised that Stealth is seemingly underpromoted right now, but maybe they don't want to spoil momentum.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I haven't seen anything for The Island, and I want to. Okay with missing out on Bewitched, and wish there were less Madagascar.
Fred -- Mr & Mrs Smith has Brad and Angelina beating the everloving tar out of each other. Looks like fun.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Madagascar has psychotic penguins. It looks like total crap, but...psychotic penguins! I may not have the willpower to stay away.
I thought I was interested in War of the Worlds, but the more previews I see, the more I realize I'm actually not. Minority Report cured me of ever wanting to see another Cruise/Spielberg production, and this one doesn't even have Colin Farrell.

I'm not sure if the untitled Mike Judge movie is coming out this summer; 40 Year Old Virgin is coming in August.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
War of the Cruise
Mr. Cruise, I knew Orson Welles (in the sense of never having met him). Orson Welles was a friend of mine. You, Mr. Cruise, are no Orson Welles.
I guess I'd heard about that movie. What do you want to bet that the ending does not involve the saving of the earth by microbes?

It really has. The trailer was fun.

bon bon, the Mike Judge one is coming out, later in the summer. I just rattled off the "big" movies I could think of (because I work for a movie theater, and am innundated with useless, and sometimes not-so-useless, movie information.

Thrive to spite them
The Dove Foundation (whatever they are) want Burger King to stop their promotional kids tie-ins with Star Wars because the movie is rated PG-13 and not suitable for children. Burger King's stance seems to be that there tie-ins are for all the movies and Sith is the only one rated PG-13
Evidentally they bullied McDonald's into sort of apologizing over the Batman Returns Happy Meals.

As opposed to the other creepy king ads which could probably scar children for life. Granted, those aren't suitable for human beings, period. The enourmous breakfast sandwich one alone took a couple years off my life, I think (not as much as the actual sandwich would, though).
