My understanding is it's sort of a stealth sequel that will pick up the action after the events of the previous movie without really referring to it much, but won't have the in-depth retelling of the Hulk's origin and so forth.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well, it does technically pick up where the last one left off (with Banner/Hulk off in some South American jungle somewhere), but I'm pretty sure that's the one and only reference.

Yep. Also, I'm one of the five people who liked the first one.

Thought way too much of itself. It was rather boring and the soft around the edges shots got old really fast.

Samurai Saga this weekend, which features Toshiro Mifune playing Cyrano de Bergerac in feudal Japan. It had the artificial Technicolor look of a John Sturges movie, but Mifune brought his considerable chops to bear on the role.

And this will always be why Edward Norton gives me the heeby jeebies. While I love Fight Club and Keeping the Faith, my kneejerk reaction to seeing him onscreen is always one of horror and trauma.

He's been in the bar with his shirt off! And we have his signed champagne bottle calling it the best bar ever!
That is why I will always love Edward Norton.

OK, that's a story I've got to hear. Isn't your bar a sorta-kinda gay bar?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I was too. I mean, what sort of Hulk movie did people think Ang Lee would direct? It delivered everything I was expecting.
I watched ... Jesse James... last night. It was another in a long line of movies I think would have been better shorter. Then I discovered the original cut (and the one that got Brad Pitt a best actor award at the Venice Film Fest) was 4 hours long. Maybe the movie was supposed to be more of an experience of what it was like to live during those times than a thing with a plot.
