Damn, that movie could go either way, from greatness to extreme suckiness.
Visually, the flick looks amazing. But I share Jon's view. OTOH, even if it sucks, it looks like it will suck in interesting ways, so it might still be worth seeing.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I hope not. Or I'd have to go samurai on someone's ass. And I can, 'cause I'm a direct line samurai descendant.

Ellen Page: Tiny and adorable.
I sat behind her at a film festival screening of her new movie, The Tracey Fragments, and some high school girls came over to get her autograph and were all fawning and Ellen was super sweet with them

It doesn't look like it in the close-ups, but in that sideways action shot with Racer X (WTF? Isn't Matthew Fox like 6'2"?) there is something very odd going on with his complexion.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
(Unknown to Speed, Racer X is secretly his older brother, Rex, who ran away from home years ago!)

Yeah. That makes the UST between Speed and Racer X especially, um, poignant.
