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.

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.

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.

So Escape from New York, but in France?
If this had been a real italics emergency... Who am I kidding? Getting something absolutely perfect is an emergency!
Thanks Sean, now I know.

When I saw the trailer for that I thought, "A movie made specifically for ita."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.)

Oh, that's right, you saw the pre-screening.
Whew. I almost cried.

Hey. New board.
On the comma thing, you could also just include the comma in the quick-formatted part. Italicized commas don't look too different from non-italicized.
Example:
This clause was done with quickformatting including the comma, while this clause is, obviously, normal; this clause , on the other hand, has bits of both , but no commas included in the quick-formats.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
