One of my co-workers (who's a huge Sci-Fi fan -- very big into Trek [TOS, I think]) just stuck his head in my door and told me he saw Batman over the weekend, and so we geeked out for a few minutes. Most excellent.

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.

Thrive to spite them
My second thought after "omigod! They're doing it!" was "I hope someone writes good fic!"

Hey. New board.
Want. Now. Please.
ETA: So far, every movie I've seen this year that I was looking forward to, I've enjoyed thoroughly. H2G2, Sin City, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and Batman Begins. Oh, and Preview!Serenity. Now that just needs to hold for Mirrormask, Corpse Bride, HP:GoF, Final!Serenity, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Lion Witch. And maybe Rent and The Producers, though my fears of their suckitude puts a damper on my anticipation.

Your tag here.
Napolean Dynamite seemed like somebody said "let's make a movie about all the worst parts of High School". It had its moments and some quotable lines, but all in all I thought it was pretty much horrific.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Why the hell did I watch Chronicles of Riddick? Why, oh, God, why?
I watched it with my nephew, but then seeing bad SF movies together is sort of a bonding ritual for us.
In happier news, I saw Batman Begins last night. Loved it. And yeah, I saw the Alfred/Luscious, but then my slash goggles are pretty much wired to my head. I really liked how they emphasized Bruce's love for Gotham, and how it related to his love for his father. It was a lovely movie, on many levels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I loved that too, Calli. I think that was one of the best developed aspects of his character.

Hey! I've played Alice, and I think SMG in a movie version of that is pretty intriguing.
I wonder if she'll be a redhead or a blonde?

Or if she'll actually be portrayed as somewhat crazy? That's the point I want emphasized. It's THE major plot conceit, and I could really see them playing it down in favor of the Ass-Kicking Girl trope, being that it's what SMG is most known for.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
She turned that on its head in The Grudge though - her Nancy barely had any agency until the last 5 minutes of the film.
