'Out Of Gas'
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.
Chinese translations of everyone's favorite dialogue exchange in Episode III.
PADME: "Something wonderful has happened. Annie, I'm pregnant"
("Waiting for the happy event condescends to come. Dear, I was pregnant")
ANAKIN: "That's... that's wonderful"
("This...... This is really too stick")
I saw Batman over the weekend. Twice! I won't go into the gushing but I was grinning like an idiot on the way home from the theater. Loved Christian Bale, loved Liam Neeson, and I absolutely lurved Cillian Murphy.
Katie Holmes was alright. Her character annoyed me a bit but that might have been due to TomKat media overdose.
We got a lot of movie trailers before BB. It was almost as long as the movie. We got War of the Worlds (no thanks), Stealth (killer aircraft,WTF), Dukes of Hazzard, Serenity (huzzah), the Island (hell yeah), Charley and the Chocolate Factory, Fantastic Four, and some Pocahontas movie with Colin Farrel and Christian Bale that looks pretty interesting.
I think I'll drag my brother or sister with me to see BB this weekend. I really need to see it again.
I may take the lovely wife out on a date this weekend to go see it.
I'm waiting for Christopher Nolan to do Alfred: The Beginning," Caine jokes.
Heh.
I put my foot down and refused to watch any more European award-winners, so we watched Seabiscuit last night. Chris Cooper was awesome, as usual, but I've got a pounding headache from so many large anvils being dropped right on my noggin. We played the Anvil Drinking Game - starting with the scene of the racing cars being rolled into the stable, we raced each other to predict the anvils. And the movie never let us down - they never missed a chance at an anvil.
Gah.
Pretty horses though.
I completely agree with:
"My view is that you should always do remakes of failures. Then you've got nowhere to go but up, you know? They can't say, 'Well, it's not as good as the original, you made a piece of crap. They'd just say, 'What a piece of crap that was,' anyway."
