I read an interview where they said something about moving the main thing from the end to the beginning of the next movie or something.
Hauser: You really think you can solve the problem? Come into Wolfram & Hart and make everything right? Turn night into glorious day? You pathetic little fairy. Angel: I'm not little.

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.
If there is a next movie. It didn't do so well this weekend....

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I feel like religious conservatives were staying away because of the author and fans of the book were staying away because the movie didn't stay true to the material.

Turns out that (James Cameron's) Avatar art I linked to earlier was spurious. There's a letter from Cameron on AICN with more information about the film.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Juno last night and have mixed feelings. It was great to see a complex, smart and self-directed teenage girl on film and the actress who plays her (Ellen Page) is AMAZING. The dialogue is very self-consciously clever at all times, even at the expense of character, so that bugged mightily. Still, well worth seeing, and I felt a lot of Whedon influence so Buffistas should enjoy it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Have you seen Hard Candy ? She's amazing in that too. And then I watched her brief scenes as Kitty Pryde in X-Men 3 last night, and though she doesn't have a lot to work with, she plays a distinct character from her other two.

Did you see my post earlier? Ellen Page practically quoted Joss's Equality Now speech. I don't know whether she'd seen it and it was intentional, or they just think the same way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The dialogue is very self-consciously clever at all times, even at the expense of character, so that bugged mightily.
I almost didn't make it past the first 20 minutes because the dialogue was so stilted and "hip." But I thought the movie improved vastly after the scene where she tells her parents she's pregnant, and I ended up liking it quite a lot.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It's early days because the foreign box office hasn't reported in officially yet, but I think it's doubtful The Golden Compass will get a sequel. Personally I'd blame the studio for that one - it would have done fine if it didn't have a $180m production budget. Seriously - that's insane - I watched the film and really liked it (I've not read the books), but they really didn't need to spend that much on the thing.

Jessica--I had the same reaction. The non-dialogue scenes, like when Vanessa talks to the baby at the mall and it kicks or Juno cries in her pulled over van got me the most.

Those were both great scenes.
