Willow ,'Empty Places'
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.
If it just left the theaters last year
Last year, three years ago...I don't know. I can imagine something like LA Confidential making it to AMC in short order. But I don't think Catwoman should be shown anywhere ever.
Of course, now I do have to TiVo it, just to be sure.
Maggie Gyllanhaal is in talks to replace Katie Holmes in the next Bats Film.

I like it.

That's a big upgrade imo.
Absolutely.
I'm still having trouble envisioning Heath as the Joker, but that's not even in the same league as the "meh" I felt about Katie Holmes (though I did like her in GO).
I'm still having trouble envisioning Heath as the Joker
I'm totally not having any qualms about this. I think back to some scenes in 10 Things I Hate About You. He's got this wide grin that I think will be perfect for the joker. Plus, he can sing and dance with some level of grace. I wonder if it's just "laconic, repressed gay cowboy" that is overshadowing any picture of him as the Joker.

It's not so much "qualms" as "don't really see it". But I just realized that I may have never actually seen Heath Ledger in anything, and am just going on what movies I know he's done.
I can't see it either, but I am amused at how incestuous it is now, with the Heath --> Jake --> Maggie connection.
They're already showing sneak previews (sans most of the CGI effects) of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, according to the Chicago Tribune (the rest of the article is pretty lame--this is all they have about OotP):
[S]ome very fortunate Chicago folks have lucked into local sneak screenings of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," the film that isn't due to be released until July 13.
The movie still isn't finished - evidently there are plenty of special effects to come - but based on reports from fans who got in, The Leaky Cauldron (leakynews.com) offers tons of juicy details about how the movie version of "OoP" differs from the book; how some new characters come across (Irish schoolgirl Evanna Lynch is said to be a knockout as the dreamy, quirky student; Luna Lovegood, and veteran British actress Imelda Staunton brings Dolores Jane Umbridge to life as a twisted bureaucrat who comes to Hogwarts to teach the sanitized, ministry-approved course Defense Against the Dark Arts.)
Ain't It Cool News (aintitcool.com) has posted a review giving the movie a B+ with plenty of details why, so forge ahead but beware of spoilers.
