Giles ,'Beneath You'
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.
I had a similar recoil to PetenHarry together again... considering it was based on a pretty self-serving lie.
And then! When the butler finally, and oh so conveniently turns Harry's seething rage of a thousand stubborn bulls into gosh! he really IS my bud. Couldn't he have maybe mentioned that before?
I enjoyed dark!Peter, but mostly because Maguire seemed to be having great fun with it. It made it fun to watch for me.
The whole butler thing made me roll my eyes forever. LAME.
Basically, the movie had too much dudes crying. and not enough snarky dialogue.
What trailers did you guys see before Spiderman 3? We got an extremely emo one about some guy called Jude starring Marilyn Manson's new GF (Rachel Evan Wood? I worry I mess one of her names up), PotC3, Shrek3, HPIV, and some one about surfing penguins. The room couldn't have been flatter after the Jude one, and this is a group that was fired up playing some weird video game onscreen instead of watching ads. Well, the game wasn't weird--it was that standard one with the bat at the bottom of the screen and the blocks at the top with point values. It was just weird to play it as an audience.

Evan Rachel Wood. That's Across the Universe, which appears to be Moulin Rouge meets Hair meets the Beatles.
We got all the same trailers you did, it seems. Plus The Bourne Ultimatum. And the HP trailer was NEW! It was one I'd never seen, and it was awesome.
HPIV
Aren't we waiting on HPV?
Plus The Bourne Ultimatum.
How did that look? (though trailers seem to be becomming less and less reliable as a gague of quality, if they ever were to begin with)
It looked fine? I remember almost nothing from the first two movies. I'm not even sure I saw the second one. Was Julia Stiles in both of them, or just the second one?
Okay, she was in both. But, seriously, I don't remember a thing. But the third one looks like...well, it looks like another Bourne movie.
Aren't we waiting on HPV?
I think there's a vaccine for that now...
Bruce Campbell, who has an ability to annoy me (no matter how much I like him in some stuff, he seems in love with his cool theses days) was freaking MAGIC. I did love him to pieces.
I think Bruce Campbell's performance was heavily influenced by John Cleese. And yeah, it WORKED. "You know, I am French."
We didn't get the HPV trailer, damn it. But we got the weird Jude one (which made The Boy say, "I used to have to DROP ACID to see things like that!"), the surfing penguins, Bourne, Pirates, and Shrek.

She was in both.

As I said in Bitches, my friend actually thought it was John Cleese.
