ION, Dork Tower has been reacting to the Peter Jackson not being picked to direct The Hobbit thing.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I saw Deja Vu yesterday. Has anyone else? I didn't much like it, and thought Denzel sleep- (or charisma-) walked through the whole thing.
Plot point, aside of the true mechanics of the thing which don't work according to any framework I can recall--he told her they had a machine that saw into the future, right? So when she was to be questioned by the other him, she couldn't even begin to tell him anything that made sense, especially since the other him was never going to see the device, right?
Seemed tangled to me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Bobby tonight. It's a weird amalgam--some great acting (Freddy Rodriguez ROCKED), good directing, compelling ideas and TERRIBLE dialogue. I wanted to tear my eardrums out almost every time someone opened their mouth. Joshua Jackson and Sharon Stone gave really strong performances and that was a nice surprise.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I saw The Fountain. Someone explain it to me.

Love triumphs over death and time. Also, supermicroscopic shots of yeast in a petri dish trumps CGI.

Always Anti-fascist!
You would have said that even if he hadn't asked, wouldn't you? You like being the expert almost as much as hair clippings, don't you, Hecubus?

Isn't that basically calling me a know-it-all? I didn't think my reply was all that expert - just glib.

More like love = acceptance of death in time.
Also, circles and blinky lights are pretty.

Hey. New board.
Should I see the Fountain, or not? Would I be better off with Happy Feet?
I like to take advantage of $5.50 matinees when I come home to Mississippi, and I already saw Casion Royale, and Bobby looks... not so good.

You're from MS? I did not know this.
