forthcoming film The Prestige
Oh, this makes me so, so happy. I loved that book.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.

Yeah, I can totally see how that source material intrigued Nolan.
Why isn't there a movie of Carter beats the Devil?
(Although, honestly, I liked The Prestige better)

I think I read somewhere a year or so ago that it was optioned and the script was being worked on. Of course, that means nothing if it doesn't get financing. It was a good book--I'd like to see a movie version!

Just watched Sin City. Man, the hobbits kinda took it in the chops in this movie, huh?
Possibly the best movie adaptation of a graphic novel I've seen.
Funny moment: "Is the priest Ray Vecchio?" "No, but he looks really familiar." "He kinda looks like Frank Miller, actually." "Frank Miller played Ray Vecchio?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Johnny Depp and some other people are back: direct link to a Pirates of the Caribbean trailer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Saw Repo Man for the first time in ages. Didn't seem to hold up as well as I thought it would. Miriam says that maybe one needs to be stoned to fully appreciate it. Or maybe it just doesn't seem as weird as it did in the '80s.
The life of a Repo Man is always intense!

Good evening Otto. This is Agent Rogers. I'm going to ask you a few questions. And since time is short and you may lie, I'm going to have to torture you but I want you to know it isn't personal.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just saw The Libertine. REALLY badly directed. Murky, oddly paced, badly shot and the script really betrayed its former life as a play. Even the good performances of Johnny Depp and Samantha Morton could not make it worthwhile. My advice, buy the poster with the close up of both of their wonderful faces, for you will get more enjoyment out of looking at it than you will from the film.
