Personally I was hoping to see the vampire whose choice of weaponry was a sack full of soaking wet housecats that he'd open and fling in the werewolves' faces.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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.

Hey. New board.
Help! Do I see Red Eye or the 40-year-old Virgin tonight?
Why they gotta release TWO major release movies I want to see, on one day, after weeks and weeks of nuthin?
ETA: They even have exactly the same Metacritic score! And it's a good one! (70)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I was planning to buy one ticket and sneak into the other one.

Hey. New board.
Sadly, the times of the movies does not make that too feasible for me.
I can do 7:20 Virgin, but it's two hours long and Red start sat 9:10 OR I could do 7:00 Red, but it's only 85 minutes long and Virgin doesn't start until 10:20.

Always Anti-fascist!
Why am I not surprised the 40yo virgin starts late? Bwah.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DH and I both loved 40 Year Old Virgin. He saw Red-Eye and liked it, but wasn't blown away. (He compared it to Cellular, which was fun only because it moved fast enough to let you ignore the complete idiocy of the plot. And Cillian Murphy is creepy.)
So I guess it depends on what genre you're in the mood for.

Oh, and we just saw Sky High, which was fun in a cheesy wholesome old-fashioned kind of way. Very predictable, but well-executed, and a pleasantly surprising attention to detail.

Up with the sun
X-posted with my journal:
Rent film soundtrack clips are up.
Quick reactions: Rosario Dawson sounds much, much better than one would expect on "Light My Candle," though "Out Tonight" is just adequate. (I'd been nervous about her casting because it seemed like such a bonehead Hollywood let's-get-a-starlet move, but she can sing.) Tracie Thorns also has a very nice voice.Adam Pascal is, regrettably, not as good as he was on the original recording. Most of the others sound pretty much like they did eight years ago.
Only three months until the film is out.

Hey. New board.
Adam Pascal is, regrettably, not as good as he was on the original recording.
Sigh. And I almost hate him even on that. I DO hate him on the Aida soundtrack, oh my God the PAIN.
I'm really glad they got everybody else back, but I wish they had recast Adam Pascal. The fact that he continued to open Broadway musicals after Rent is one of those things that annoys me to no end.
ETA: Actually, I'm rather glad they recast Mimi too. The oddness of the girl's voice in the OCR (and I'm blanking on her name right now for some reason), though often appealing, would probably have issues in the movie.
