I... blame you all for the fact that, in my head, the line in the commercial runs "the whole wide world is a Sarlacc Pit..."
I fear my brain.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
In the total OPPOSITE of negative cinema, I saw Enchanted yesterday. LOVED IT. Amy Adams is wonderful and the film has such affectionate snarky fun with all the Disney cliches that it's great for kids and adults. I am not a GA fan, but found Patrick Dempsey totally rrowr.

Heh. Laga, that Avatar has no connection to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Not that it doesn't look cool.

Hee. No, it's a really big problem, actually. M. Night Shyamalan is making the Avatar: The Last Airbender movies, and the Avatar people want him to change the title, claiming they have first dibs. I think they're due to come out in the same year, even. It's going to be confusing all up in here because it seems stupid for M. Night to have to change the title of a movie based on a television show with that title. By all rights, he should get to sue them.

Whew I feel better. I could have sworn there was an Avatar: The Last Airbender movie in production... and there is! I can see why there's a fight going on over the titles if even movie theatre managers are confused but I'm with you: Cameron should have to pick a new title.

I mean, they had two movies named Zodiac (and both about the Zodiac killer!) released one year after the other. Of course, one was clearly lower profile.
M. Night is actually doing a trilogy, presumably turning each season into a movie, as if that's possible at all. And it's live-action. While I obviously have reservations on principle, as anyone would, I'm a little heartened by the fact that he appears to be a complete fanboy, just like us. The first outline he turned in to Mike and Bryan was, like, waaaaay too long because he wanted to fit in all of their ideas. So, if anything, I know he respects the source material greatly and wants to do right by it. And Mike and Bryan seem to be involved. Cautiously optimistic for now, I suppose.
