Ugh. Just watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The trailer for it was far far better than the movie itself.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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.

It was okay. Too long, though.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.
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.

Hey, could someone recap the letters-of-marque plotline from PotC2 for me? I had a bit of trouble following it, especially at the beginning, when I didn't realize how important it would be.
HP:GoF was okay, not one I'll see again, probably, but one I enjoyed watching at the time. My favorite parts were all the teen angst & character moments, like Hermione and Ginny exchanging a look over Cedric, and Neville dancing (Neville is love!).

Interesting news: Stephen King's "1408" is being made into a movie starring John Cusack and Samuel Jackson. Just as good news? The screenwriters are the guys who collaborated on Ed Wood. [link]

Just came back from Pirates and am really glad I spoiled myself here since I think otherwise I would have missed a lot. I also severely overestimated the previews and, coming in at just 10 minutes past, I seem to have missed all the credits and initial set-up. I came in at the coffins being dumped into the ocean. Can someone tell me what I missed? Thanks.
ETA: Looks like I didn't overestimate the preview time, rather the cinema website had the wrong time listed. So it looks like I may indeed have missed 10 minutes or so. Annoyed now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The total stranger two seats away from me at PotC2 started laughing with me at the Transformers preview. I said, "What's next, Thundercats?" There was a perfect beat, and we both said, "Hell, I'd watch that."
Should've gotten his number.
