We send our very best wishes to whomever has the privilege of making The Hobbit and look forward to seeing the film on the big screen.
Bzzt! Wrong, Peter!
We got to go there - but not back again ...
Aw.
It's all about the coat.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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 all it is. It's like a teaser for a teaser.

Art Crawl!!!
Cool.
But you didn't see it, did you Amyliz? So you can't say how good it was?
When I was coming back from the grocery store there was a woman with her kids who was just coming back from Happy Feet. (Which they all enjoyed.)

Because books.
No, I had to take the fifteen-year-old to get clothes and get his hair cut. Fun. ::rolls eyes::
In terms of Happy Feet, the nine-year-old loved it, the almost-three-year-old fell asleep for 45 minutes of it, and the husband actively disliked it and thought it was boring. But he can be curmudgeonly from time to time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I also really disliked it. The animation is really well done, but that's pretty much it. The story is needlessly convoluted, the musical sequences are sloppily put together, and there's this weird dark turn about 2/3rds in that makes NO SENSE in terms of either tone or plot.
(During a scene I was sure was going to be the ending, the little girl sitting next to me turned to her mother and asked nervously "Mommy...is it over?!" and her mom said "No no...there has to be a happy ending...they made this for kids...")
There is kind of a happy ending, eventually, but I thought even that was pretty depressing. The message seems to be that humans and animals can live in environmental harmony if the animals learn how to do amusing tricks. And as cynical as I am, that's just not what I go to an animated film about a dancing penguin to hear at 11 in the morning on a Saturday.
