'Life of the Party'
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.
I was catching up, and I was going to say something about the compass, and how Jack can't get it to work because he doesn't know what he wants most . But now I can just say "what Hec said." Also, I thought I mentioned something in whitefont about the necklaces matching , but I was a little squeetastic at the time, so I might have forgotten.
Also, I figured that the cannibal sequence was in there because running away from cannibals is funny.
(ETA: actually I think maybe it was the History Channel)
Yeah, it was the History Channel. They were doing a pirate thing all week.
One of the best laughs I can recall at Gencon was a screening of some spoof-dubbed animé movie cobbled together from various series like Macross and Neon Genesis. At one point, a spaceship changed shape into battle configuration and they overdubbed the Transformers sound effect. The whole room fell out laughing.
The entire shish-ka-Jack, running from cannibals scene gave me a headache.
But I recognized one of the women mocking him. (the one on the left) Not sure where I've seen her before, but her mouth is very distinctive.
eta: I'm dyslexic, I don't even have a 50/50 chance of identifying a direction correctly!
Ugh. Just watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The trailer for it was far far better than the movie itself.
It was okay. Too long, though.

Was it "Evangelion: Re-Death", or something else entirely? I'm trying to remember if there were any robots transforming during Re-Death. (If the entire cast starts singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" while one of the Eva battles a giant Pikachu, it was Re-Death.)
I'm pretty sure I would have remembered that, though I suppose it could have happened before I showed up. The main thing I remember was that the lead character was some extremely androgynous rock star who apparently piloted a giant warrior Mecha in his/her/its spare time.

Really? I'd put it behind Prisoner of Azkaban in the HP movie rankings, but ahead of both Chamber and Stone. I liked GoF for the fun "getting a date" middle sequence and the well-played-by-both-kids fight between Ron and Harry. I hope that Radcliffe continues to improve his acting--he was good in PoA and better in GoF. Watching Sorcerer's Stone on ABC Family last night was just painful.

Ah. I haven't seen that one, I'm afraid. Though, sadly, it almost sounds like it could be a legitimate anime. Re-Death pretty much just spoofs Evangelion, but it does splice in footage from other anime at points.
