Seriously, if you haven't seen Palme d'Or winner Laurent Cantet's Human Resources or Time Out, do yourself a favor. I can't speak for Heading South.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

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.

yeah I think it really helped that the last movie I saw before Indy was In the Name of the King.

What the hell was Dave Foley thinking of hooking up with him for his video-game "satire" Postal? [link] Did he lose a bet with God?

I haven't seen Holes, but have seen Shia in Transformers about 10 times, and he's awesome. Just tons of charisma. Main reason I want to see Indy.
Because, while I take some weird pride in my hometown showing up in movies, I also know it's going to mean sucky plotline.

What will the second movie's title be?
Del Toro: Too early- but not "H2 Electric Boogaloo" that has been discarded.

What the hell was Dave Foley thinking
Did I read somewhere that Boll's films always come in on time and under budget? Maybe if you don't have any other work on the horizon and you don't care too much about your career it seems like decent work for decent pay.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
What can also happen is that you sign up for a film with a different director and different script and then the studio decides to make the project "better." And you've got a contract that could screw up future work if you break it.
Or maybe Boll has mind-control powers. It could happen.

Interview with Christian Bale at Details -- no spoilers for anything, it's about his whole career.
This is my favorite:
I was at the Science Museum in London with my daughter and some of her friends, and they wanted hot dogs. And so I went up to a hot-dog stand and I said, "Can I have three hot dogs?" They said, "I'm sorry, we're closed." And so I started walking away. And then one of them said, "Excuse me, are you Batman?" And I said, "Well, I play Batman." And they said, "Well, here's three hot dogs—on the house." That's pretty remarkable, isn't it?

So. New Mummy movie coming out. On the plus side -- directed by Rob Cohen, not Stephen Summers. Cohen's had some stinkers, but has also had some really good movies (Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story leaps to mind). And John Hannah is back for this one.
On the I Don't Know side -- Do we really need another Mummy movie? Plus, Evey won't be played by Rachel Weisz.
On the plus side, Evey will be played by Maria Bello instead (though I liked Evey as a brunette, thanks).
