Possibly my favorite line from a review EVER:
This is the snakiest plane movie and the planeiest snake movie ever made.
ETA: I actually really like The whole review.
It's basically a movie about two questions:
1. What is the meaning of life? Oh, sorry, wrong movie. I meant to say, how many places can snakes be on a plane and how many places on a body can they bite? Answer: all of them
2. What items on a plane can be used to combat, destroy, and barricade oneself from snakes? Answer: More than you'd think
I just finished Anthony Rapp's (Mark Cohen in the original Broadway cast of Rent) memoir, Without You. I am finally ready to watch the movie, I think.
I expect I'll be crying soon.
I have been listening to that on tape-- with Anthony Rapp reading. I am enjoying it thusfar!
It's good.
10 minutes in, and I'm already wondering about some of the decisions. The order is slightly different and it leads to redundancies. Why couldn' they leave it in the original order?
I am quite liking the bits where they speak lines that were song originally, but in the same rhythm. That works well.
Okay, no more Rent thoughts until I'm done. This isn't the musicals thread.
Anthony Rapp--a fellow Jolietan! My mom first saw him in The Little Prince on Broadway when he was about 12 years old, and I saw him play Charlie Brown in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown when it was in previews in Chicago.

I'm kind of annoyed they felt the need to pretty much make up new characters for almost all of the Decepticons.
Yeah, most of them didn't sound familiar. I wondered why. But I guess that's the way with movies. I mean, why the hell would you make up new mutants for the
X-Men
movies when there are, I imagine,
hundreds
in canon already? It's not like they performed any function necessary to the plot.
Daniel Craig cast in The Golden Compass.
