more in the tone of PoA, not the first two movies.
Yay!
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Yep. Just the other day I said, "Dude, I'm totally coveting my neighbor's manservant."
Ah. This is what you get for living next door to Bertie Wooster.
Also, I second ita's Yay.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Thirding the Yay. With a whoop and a grin.
Can.not.WAIT. I'm more anxious for GoF than for any of the previous HP's. I think it's partly because the first two were kids' movies, the third one wasn't, so much. And partly because there's been no new LotR movie released to occupy my thirst for well-done fantasy.
We finally saw House of Flying Daggers, and now I'm already considering another two-hour trip, each way, to see Howl's Moving Castle again, because I've seen (or own) everything Miyazaki has in release. I will not be fobbed off with FF. More Chinese fairy tales! More fantasy! I neeeeed it!

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Just got back from War of the Worlds, which, while having a completely STUPID final three minutes, freaked. my. shit. out. I was excited to see aliens blowing shit up, but was not expecting it to be so terrifying.
Nice surprise: no commercials ... but only one preview (for King Kong, which I don't think I'm interested in seeing. Maybe.).

This afternoon I watched Team America (fuck yah): World Police. I am terribly disturbed and want to scrub my brain.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I saw the penguin movie today. Baby Penguins are painfully cute, and now I am in the odd position of wanting to ask Billytea a penguin question that might be a spoiler for the movie.

Hey. New board.
Fourthing the yay. Also saying that Hollywood Reporter and Variety both have fairly positive reviews of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory up, which you can get to through the metacritic site.

I wonder if Johnny Depp breaks out in a rendition of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" at any point?

Finally saw BATMAN BEGINS over the weekend, and my response was "Oh HELL yeah!"
Quite possibly the best super-hero movie I've ever seen. Much as I loved the two Burton movies, this is the Batman movie I've been waiting for.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Oooooo. Just found out that Mizayaki's Warriors of the Wind has just been re-released on DVD as Nausicaä of the Valley of the Winds. Not up to giving it the hours of rapt attention it deserves tonight, but I'm not making any plans for next weekend.
We watched this a few weeks back. I'd always heard great things about Nausicaä, but it all felt like a less complex dry run for Princess Mononoke to me. I liked Castle In The Sky (which I also saw recently for the first time) much more.
