'Out Of Gas'
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 don't know that I'd sleep with anyone from the DC-verse. Well, maybe the Comedian. Or maybe Destruction.
I've got a LONG list of DCU characters I wouldn't kick out for eating crackers.
SHOCKING news flash: Plei is a weirdo.
Psh. You say that like I'm the only one who feels that way.
Who, me?
t can't believe I am wondering this
I don't think I would want to bang the speedsters. I mean, I know they can make the concerted effort to be a normal speed, but when one gets really excited?
OTOH, if I wasn't really in the mood, it would probably be over before I noticed anything.
Velvet Goldmine: Gay. Oh, you lucky gay men, you.
I was about to say, I'd do grown-up Arthur from Velvet Goldmine even if there were a group of nuns with camcorders in the room. The emo overreactions and horrible glam-era mullet hair would have kept me away from his earlier self though.
Well, I think Cyborg is incredibly doable, what with attachments and such.
I think maybe Bruce Wayne might be more fun in the sack than Bats, but I'd have to try both to be sure. I'm guessing Green Arrow is fun, but it seems he's been ruined these days.

Just don't wear yellow lingerie.
eta: Or am i confusing him with Green Lantern?
You are confusing Green Arrow and Lantern. Lantern = yellow bad.
Forget Ollie.
His boy Roy is where it's at.

See, I knew this stuff was too complicated.
How many other "green" superheroes are there? Could Kermit be "Green Frog"?
eta: Ooh. Forgot about Green Hornet!
More random thoughts about The Prestige:
Angier's little "I did it for the LOVE" bit at the end was total bullshit, not even buyable as "unreliable narrator" based on anything we'd seen of the character up until then.
I was mostly okay with the way they changed Angier's secret for the movie, except that, having done his trick once, he could now use Borden's secret. I know that in both the book and the movie Angier was unable to accept Borden's trick was that simple, but it didn't quite fly in the movie. The things that worked about the change was that they were then able to frame the story in a better way for a film (rather than having descendants reading journals), and they were able to work in the drowning.
Speaking of flying, I loved the canaries being the symbols of the magicians, or really, of Angier: "He killed him!" "No he didn't, he's right here?" "But where's his brother?" and "You're the lucky one today."
I liked that each magician died by the same method his wife had, although I believe that in Borden's case, the one who hanged was the one who drove Sara to hang herself, not the one who loved her. If his behaviour can be accepted as loving her, which I don't.
Somehow the parallel of the Edison/Tesla fight came through more strongly in the movie. Maybe because I was snarking about how Tesla was using Edison's lightbulbs (in between snarking about how they walked into the middle of a field of glass lightbulbs in the dark without hitting any).
And I suggest amending Jess' brilliant summary to include the presence of Gollum.
