I have to say that the promos I've seen for the movie aren't bad.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
In that picture, RZ looks a little like the woman who plays Calamity Jane on Deadwood.

Compassionately intolerant
I watched the Potter preview and thought, Huh, it's the crossgender version of Finding Neverland.
It looks almost exactly the same to me!
I liked Neverland and am thinking that Potter without Freddy Hugeeyes is just going to be a pale facsimile.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I saw a promo for Children of Men that called it, "Blade Runner for our times."
Dude. Blade Runner tanked. It took twenty years for more than 500 devoted cultists to even see it. You're dooming your own movie at the box office.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Bev, I'm sure that in many people's uncertain memories, Bladerunner was a huge hit, even if most first saw it on TV or whatever. Because it's become iconic. The same way that the 1939 Wizard of Oz was actually a box-office disappointment, or "In The Still of The Nite" (by the Five Satins) was hardly a top forty song in its first release.

What is even happening?
Please, talk away!
I don't even know what to say. That was something, huh? I was as fascinated by the trouble they had getting the movie into theaters, as by the movie, itself. Christopher Lee's character was so different (in a good way) from what I'd imagined. I called the ending, because the cop didn't sleep with Britt Eklund, and when it doesn't always have to be blood, then it always has to be a virgin sacrifice.
Did you see it, Raq? What did you think?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
save that it's silly they got a body double for Britt Eklund.
Main reason was because she was pregnant at the time and just starting to show. While that would have been appropriate for a movie about fertility rituals, I suspect Britt had some reservations if the filmmakers didn't.
Just saw that for the first time myself about a month back (after having read about it for years). I rather liked it, but too many years of THE EQUALIZER made it hard to buy Edward Woodward as that big a stiff or a patsy. Christopher Lee was awsome; charming yet ruthless, which was kind of a speciality of his (I need to see the longer version sometime because I know he gets a few more scenes).

Is the longer version preserved? I saw snippets of scenes in one of the extras, but I think they lost the negatives for the film, and everything.
