Jayne ,'Objects In Space'
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.
OK, I'm all out of theories, except the rather cynical one I've been nuturing this whole time:
It's not true. The MPAA has done some creative accounting to show that revenues are down, so that they can use this statistic in their continuing war against piracy, real or imagined.
Fluffers (and Zombies) Make Movies
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Fluffers (and Zombies) Make Movies
Hee! Oh, that's funny.
Robin's and ita's moviegoing approaches are essentially the same as mine. My attention span at home is about an hour, give or take. That's enough to watch a broadcast television show or pop in a Wonderfalls DVD, but I almost never make it all the way through a DVD rental in one sitting. Which results in late fees and any movie I rent costing the same as a movie ticket. The theater is a controlled separate environment where I'm not worrying about who might be calling, or deciding that pasta sounds good and getting sidetracked cooking for a half hour. Plus, it allows me to pretend that I'm social and like people.
they suggested renting Godzilla rather than wasting time and money on War of the Worlds.
Good Lord. I'd already decided to boycott the movie in protest of Spielberg's decision to make it modern rather than period well before the Dianetic Duo took over every entertainment news outlet on the planet, but this just eliminated any last trace of regret I might have felt at missing out.
The reaction to WotW from last night's BAFTA screening was a universal "Eh, it was all right."
I should be asleep, but that's seeming unlikely...so in my evening perambulations around the Internet, I noted this quiz on AICN:
Who would you cast as The Joker for the next Batman movie?
So. Movie Teen Kitty.
Evan Rachel Wood?
Katie Stuart.
The only thing I know about Katie is she was cute as Kitty in X2, and had a couple of funny lines in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I liked her a lot in her little role there, so I'm not at all opposed to her continuing the role of Kitty, but it sadly doesn't look likely. They seem to want somebody with at least a little more of a name.
Has anyone heard anything about Dark Water? A horror movie with a cast full of Actors?
