naked, tied up Daniel Craig is pretty damned hot.
Does he get tortured with a carpet beater like in the book?
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not sure what they used, Laga, but the torture scene was similar to what was written.
Iron Man promo still and movie articlet. I wonder if he'll be an alcholic.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yep, I knew she was in it.
She's so unlike Jaye in it I had to convince myself it really was her. It's weird because she doesn't look all that different, which is why I had the "Wait, is that Caroline Dhavernas?" moment. But she acts and sounds completely different.
We also wanted to watch for Chris Cooper
And Laura Linney!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Sicko: surprisingly excellent.

Always Anti-fascist!
Surprisingly? Although I really enjoy the stuff Michael Moore does, so maybe you shouldn't go by me...I also rented "The Awful Truth"(his for-cable TV show)

Re. Iron Man: So Robert Downey Jr. has been cast as a playboy who develops a substance abuse problem. This amuses me.

I want to know why he's bulking up for the part. Tony Stark is the former lush cardiac patient superhero who wears a big metal suit, it's not as if he needs to be in good shape.

move out and draw fire
I too saw PotC3 this weekend, and now I have to go back and read whitefont, because for the life of me I could not figure out the bad guy's motivation. Or other characters' motivations at certain points.
It was pretty, but I guess I was really looking for meaning where there wasn't any, because I kept thinking everything was a reference to other movies - Return of the Jedi, The Godfather, Highlander.
Orlando Bloom's costuming was HAWT. And I found it funny that Elizabeth's black-and-gold costume featured a serious corset, which should have been called out given the ongoing corset jokes in the first movie.
I didn't feel quite as Bruckheimered as with PtoC2, but I do still feel like I got brucked. Ich war gebruckt.
Trailers: Transformers CGI looks fucking awesome.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah... I really enjoy the stuff Mike Moore does, and definitely think all of his previous films merit a lot more discussion than they get -- but he does tend to go off on a tangent and looses any hope of having 50% of his audience listen to him (something I'm also guility of). Sicko treads the line a bit more carefully. Some of the things he covers aren't the full picture (eg his painting of the NHS in the UK as entirely free -- which it is, but you don't get ALL drugs on the NHS as certain expensive cancer drugs and things aren't covered). But overall, I think it's a needed film, and hopefully does something to chip away the media image of socialism and French people equalling The Devil.
