'Beneath You'
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'll join that bandwagon. Though there's only so much they'll be able to do, even in a 3-hour movie. And the detentions are an obvious place to trim.
They could show it once instead of the numerous times it appears in the book. I think it is necessary to show how awful Umbridge is.
Plus it scars him for liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife. Kinda like another villian in this story.
There's a rumor on the Internets that Robert Altman just passed away. Can anyone confirm or deny?
Aw, that's so sad.
Damn. He looked so robust in ... was it this year when he got the honorary Oscar?
Oh no! So sad.
I was just coming to post about that (CNN.com doesn't have any details other than he's passed away).
Sad, but he had a great run. Corwood, the timing on the High Hat issue is a bit eerie.

I was just thinking that too.
We're working on a rewrite of our editorial comments right now.
He did indeed have a great run, and he was a hell of a brilliant filmmaker, such an original that his followers can't seem to capture his seemingly effortless ability to combine naturalistic dialogue, improvisation, ensemble casting, and (in his great movies, at least) his profound belief in humanity, for good and for evil.
Anyone care to participate in an Altman deathmatch? Or make some Altman lists?
I do, Corwood. He did have a great run, but he's long been one of my favorites and I am very sad to think I don't have more films to look forward to.
