I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ledger was almost unrecognizable in Lords of Dogtown, although it was a smallish role, so it's feasible to me that he could play a role as different from others he's done as the Joker.

Hey. New board.
I can't find the Aint it Cool review. Is it actually there?

We went and saw 300 today. The visuals were indeed stunning. The dialog was not quite as eye-rolly as I had feared. And I now know for sure that my attention wanders during big battle scenes; instead of watching the fighting and the gore, I kept trying to figure out what weight of silk the costumer used for the red cloaks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Back from 300. Who knew Xerxes was a Gou'ld?
(Also back from Zodiac, which surprised me by being better than 300, though I enjoyed both of them. Zodiac is a little long, but there's a LOT of story in there, so it's not so much a problem. Jake Gyllenhaal may be growing on me -- he's adorably nerdy in this, and seems to have finally learned how to open his eyes all the way.)

Back from 300. Who knew Xerxes was a Gou'ld?
I was coming in here to post much the same thing, Jessica. I swear, I was half expecting him to bust out with a "Jaffa, kree!" at any moment.

Back from 300. Who knew Xerxes was a Gou'ld?
Seriously, I expected his eyes to start glowing when Leonidas refused to kneel before him. And then to see him pop out the heat-wavey hand device.
I hope the Stargate producers weren't planning on having Apophis return in either of those movies they're making.
Loved the cinematography throughout—the movie looked like Frank Frazetta paintings come to life. I just tried to ignore the glaring historical and biological inaccuracies and think of it as a new Conan movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who knew Xerxes was a Gou'ld?
Ha! I said that in Natter. I did enjoy the movie, although I spent time afterwards saying "Total Lurtz moment." "Well, not quite as stirring as that speech in Return of The King." (which was rebutted with "At least he didn't sing.") and "Oliphaunts!"

Sorry to x-post, but in case you missed the Press post, I thought that this group in particular might enjoy this podcast.
The Premiere of B-Movie Bastards!
If you are brave and feel like listening to some insanity, the first episode of a podcast that NoiseDesign is involved in is done and up. If you love b-movies, then this is for you. There are three hosts (including, "Evil Roommate," for those who remember him from ND's webcam days) talking about the movies that they love so much. The first episode covers Dead Alive and Return of the Living Dead.
The second episode is also up at this feed:

This podcast is a blast to listen to even if you're not a b-movie fan, in my opinion. They've got a great sense of humor and even do a little original podcast b-movie theatre in addition to their reviews. The first one had something to do with gay zombies on parade. Don't ask. But listen.
