Regarding WotW, I am tommyrot. Aside from a big gaping plot hole (well, at least one), the movie was generally fun.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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.

I think this is my favorite penny arcade comic ever.
It's certainly in my top ten, if not top five. I only wish their damn keyword search worked properly so I could find it more easily.

Just do a Wiki search for Twisp and Catsby like normal folk. Wikipedia has made many site-internal boolean searches redundant.

Sumi, can I tag this, only, switch out Laika for MEMEMEME? I'm feeling rather cranky today.

Hey. New board.
Hmm. I'm reading reviews that are saying WotW is not a simple destruction movie, or a straight sci-fi thriller, but a sci-fi horror in the vein of Alien. I love horror.
This is making me want to watch it much, much more than I wanted to watch it before.
Confirmations? Contradictions?

Gris, Seanan says it's horror too. And she knows horror.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Um.
I guess.

It's horror in the sense of characters hiding from the aliens, esp. the long scene in the basement with Tim Robbins.
I don't think that's a spoiler as it's very vague, but I whitefonted just in case.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I also saw someone describing it more as horror than straight sci-fi.

I would also agree that it's much more horror sci-fi. There were some parts where I suddenly felt like I was in a zombie movie. Some parts were genuinely freaksome.
don't want to spoil the mood for people that are excited...

move out and draw fire
Poltergeist is still a pretty scary movie, so it's hopeful that SS can bring the horror again.
In lieu of real posters or anything they put up paintings of the one-sheets here. Tom Cruise looks freaking insane. I think it was a purposeful decision by the artist.
