It was just not what I was expecting.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
See, I'd have watched the Heaven movie to see how the conundrum resolves. Learning that there's no conundrum? FUCK NO.

I don't care about the conundrum, really. Assuming I'm in a mental place where that movie is appealing to me, I just want cute Mark Ruffalo to be happy!!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Jesse, but CoA's was a pointless not-happy ending, rather than a natural conclusion to the events of the movie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Now all I'm wondering is how one gets permission to rent out an apartment if the leaseholder is in a coma.

Always Anti-fascist!
In view of those numbers being huge for those things ita posted, are we just looking at a mildly sluggish season and studio execs being used to leading us like hogs to a trough on Memorial Day?

Go see it, Jessica, and come back and tell us. I can't ask my friend any more questions about it. I think she's at risk of an aneurysm on the whole movie subject.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I didn't realize War of the Worlds made so much. I thought it was a box office disapointment. Apparently Spielberg plus Cruise equals print your own money.

Yeah...no.
I thought it was a disapointment.
I think it cost so much to make that any box office returns were going to be disappointing.
