Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
seriously, girl has skills. She should go do theater for a while or something: fantastic comedic timing, and a very nice voice too.
Gris, if you're at all into anime, Anne Hathaway voices the lead character in "The Cat Returns." It's a fun bit of fluff from Miyazaki's Studio Ghibi (but not a Miyazaki film as such). She does a fantastic job.
Saw the trailer for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last night and I've been pondering one question ever since.
Why if the Golden Ticket contest is "world wide" are all the winning children white?
Hmmmm....?
My question was "Why is Johnny Depp channelling Carol Channing?"

Because Roald Dahl only wrote about white protagonists.
Most of the characters are bland, but not Johnny. He's extreme. Whenever he comes onscreen, punk music blares, he does a Mountain Dew commercial stunt and starts making out with one or two chicks
So, they've turned Johnny Storm into Poochie? Go team Hollywood.
I had to read that post way too many times (considering the word "Storm" is in it) to make it about F4 and not Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

BWAH!
So, Fantastic Four? Really not so good. It had its moments, but took sooooo looooong getting to them. Batman can take a while going through the how-he-got-there part. These guys? Went to space. And came back. There was no need for that to take an hour.
I wholeheartedly agree. I mean, yes, it could have sucked more than it did (it's no Catwoman), but dear LORD I don't think it could have been any more boring.
One of the people I saw it with liked it, but she (a) likes that sort of thing and (b) had never heard of the F4 before, so the 90 MINUTES OF EXPOSITION were less pointless than they were to the rest of us. Seriously, if you know even the broad strokes of these people's origin stories, there is no point in seeing this movie. (Unless maybe if you know and love them so well that just spending time with them is all you want. But if you want to see them do anything, this is not your film.)
Oh, Gris, I've been counting down to the gay cowboy movie for a year.
And didn't Anne Hathaway have some shocking movie coming out where she was going to be doing full-frontal and girl-on-girl? I know I'd heard something about that.
Whoa!
I met a girl on a cruise who looked a lot like Anne Hathaway. She was really pretty.
