Ali, if you want to take this to other media, I'll tell you what's been rocking my world lately on my pull list from hell.

Hey. New board.
Huh. Do you spose the studio is expecting a low opening box office for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory due to the next HP book being released? Seems like a direct conflict for much of the possible Saturday audience...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, I'm sure most people will pick up the Potter book, then travel back in time to catch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Hey. New board.
I mean, me, I'm considering going to a 7 showing of charlie, and then going across the street to the barnes and noble for the midnight party. but I'm not sure everybody is as obsessed with both, and I bet bunches of folks will be reading the book that saturday who would normally be locks for a Charlie showing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
There were DINOSAURS!! Mayhap they will EAT PEOPLE!!!
Although to be honest, some of the CGI looked...not good. Some did, though. I am not agog, but I am interested, cause, you know, giant ape and other beasties. Looks fun.

Hey. New board.
It's the Naomi Watts that pulls me in. The Peter Jackson is a nice cred for it, but I'm not sure brilliance-in-adapting-a-brilliant-text-to-movie is the same as brilliance-in-adapting-a-um-well-okay-not-so-brilliant-really-but-pretty-cool-movie-to-...-movie.
Still, I'll be there unless the word of mouth is especially abyssmal.

PJ has such a love (nay, obsession) with the original King Kong that I figure he won't destroy the good stuff about it, and will use all that modern technology to make it better. I love the casting of Jack Black.

And it's not Jack Black being JackBlack!JackBlack either. It's him being dialed-back Jack Black, which we do not see often/ever. That alone is impressive to me.
