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.
Putting your own eyes out would be a more enjoyable and rewarding experience. than watching Rottweiler]
Been away and catching up. A friend and I were going to make buttons that read: I survived Rottweiler. Then we realized we didn't have any eyes, and hadn't survived yet another Sci-Fi Original.
Was it that bad? I survived Pterodactyl. And Bloodsuckers.
I'm not sure what's so great about the Spidey teaser poster. I mean, it's cool and dark, but it's pretty similar to the first two, the lack of color notwithstanding. It's just...Spidey.
I think it looks like the studios aren't sure about the difference between Spiderman and Batman.
It's implicit that Spidey is crying in that poster. Batman would never cry on his teaser poster.
Agreed. Batman's downcast shots are very much with the tight-set jaw. He's sad but grimly determined. Spidey gets the serious blues. Peter is Bruce without nearly so many emotional defenses.
Was it that bad? I survived Pterodactyl. And Bloodsuckers.It wasn't that bad. Apart from the dog's makeup, the casting and the actin'. But we realized a button with the title of any "SciFi original movie" could multiply into a series. We settled on buttons that read: I SURVIVED another SciFi "original"
Saw V. Liked it a lot. Very different from the book, and will probably draw the wrath of many purists, but I thought most of the changes were successful ones. (I have several nitpicks and a short wish list of things I wish they'd kept, but there was only one scene that I thought completely missed the mark.)
I'll be curious to see what the general fan reaction is.
Sweet! I cannot wait for V (haven't read the comic yet, but I have the love for all things Alan Moore) and I'm glad to hear you liked it.
I saw Transamerica tonight and generally thought it was pretty great. I can't help but let my reactions be colored by my expectations and the fact that I wanted it to Say Something Important about transsexual people, but instead, it ended up being mostly a movie about people and their messy relationships and how they make and atone for mistakes, and it was funny and strange and touching. So it wasn't quite what I had thought I wanted it to be, but it was probably better off that way. Definitely recommended.
Rottweiler lacked any "fun". It was bad, and not even in an entertaining way
I just recently read V (lets put the word vendetta in here, for searching purposes). I am looking forward to the movie. I'm glad that there is hope for the "me liking" I can think of some changes that would irritate me a lot, but I think they would likely have irritated you. There are a wicked lot of spoilers on the movie webstie, IMO

Is that a new cyber fashion accessory? (Some typos are cooler than others. Yours rocked, DebetEsse!)
