'Trash'
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.
M. Night Shyamalan is apparently going to do a live-action version of Sunil's beloved "Avatar: The Last Airbender".
I keep expecting someone to tell me it's a joke. And I actually like M. Night, for the most part. But he and Avatar go together like oil and...Satan.

I just found out that omnis_audis has never seen Shaun of the Dead. We're watching it at my house Monday night unless someone with a bigger TV invites us over. Did any of you LAistas manage to miss this gem?
I used to be excited about the thought of a movie version of The Dark is Rising. Now, I'm just heartbroken.
OMGWTFAMERICAN?!?!?!
Is that so the Dark can all be British, so the accents tell us who's evil? What about Merriman? Is he going to be American also? Maybe he'll be a Magical Negro (since they clearly haven't read the books).
And, why screw with the family dynamics?
I like this comment about Bran: "He's not albino, just really blond dude."
A roundup of the Newline/PJ squabble.

I...but...what? Why? WHO? WHY WHY WHY?
What is my problem? I post in Music when I want Movies and Movies when I want Music!
You're craving musicals?
...that casting call is evil and wrong. I am sad. After the awesomeness that was the Chronic(what?)cles of Narnia, I keep wanting all of my childhood fantasies to be good movies.
I'm fascinated by the reviews of Tideland.
How can a movie that inspires that much upset be meritless? I mean, the tone of the reviews isn't just that the movie is bad, there's a moral tone of revulsion and disapproval. As if Gilliam gets his grimy little nails under their psyche.
But I haven't seen it. It may be utter twaddle, or a droning bore.
Did anybody see it? Jess?
