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.
In class I try to avoid the word ghetto, but yeah.
I think the reason they are keeping the B in the title is that in France that's how the movie was marketed B13: Banlieue 13 .
As for release, hard to tell. Luc Besson produced Ong Bak too, but also The Transporter so I guess it depends which strings he decides to pull.
It's opening in Boston, but not anywhere in Maine, tomorrow. Just checking times and places - which probably doesn't tell you anything about Annapolis.

Since the premise of the movie is that the French government has built a WALL around the neighborhood to keep the criminals in...
So Escape from New York , but in France?

That's an artifact of quick-formatting (I think). The only way to avoid the space (which I dislike, myself) is to format the old fashioned way.

Serial:
And as you can see, because I used quick-formatting to do the fake tags, I got spaces between my tags, the words and the comma.
This is only a test:

If this had been a real italics emergency... Who am I kidding? Getting something absolutely perfect is an emergency!
Thanks Sean, now I know.
Banlieu 13
When I saw the trailer for that I thought, "A movie made specifically for ita."
Jessica, what the short?

There wasn't a short, but that doesn't mean there won't be one attached to the theatrical reels.
Oh, did I mention that this movie must must MUST be seen in digital projection if at all possible? Because the visuals will knock you on your ass and then some -- they're SO damn good. There were a few shots that literally took my breath away. I mean, just WOW. (So if you must see it on film, see it opening weekend so you get a nice clean reel, not one that's been run through the projector a zillion times.)
