We just got done watching Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.

Wow, that was ... something. Something not good. And very very dumb. However, face huggers still freak me right out, no matter how dumb the movie they're being used in.

Pete is still angrily muttering about the crimes that have been inflicted upon the Aliens franchise. He would really like to see a good Aliens movie made again.

(We knew going in that AvP:R was a bad, bad movie. We had just hoped for some good fight sequences with the assorted monsters, but noooo. Fight choreography was crap.)

It's so sad because there's a really decent comic book version I wish they would make into a movie.

They've used bits from the AvP comics in the first AvP movie. Not that this kept it from sucking.

Darn it! James McAvoy says he's NOT playing Bilbo.

I hope it's just rumors about Marvel going with a different director for Iron Man II and The Avengers.

I'm watching Chicago. Man I forgot what a fantastic movie this is. I wonder if the original Broadway cast had any idea what a work of genius they would one day not be remembered for.

Late chime in for the male-cows-with-udders revulsion here -- I cracked up my video class by ranting about whether they were tranny cows, or male-identified cows or hideously deformed oxen.

It also bugs me when ant and bee characters are portrayed as male by default.

Or Quasimodo as singing and dancing. He's a deaf hunchback! That's kind of the point of the story, you know?

Feh.

Oh don't get me started on the way Disney interprets classic tales.

I don't know the French-Canadian musical of HoND, Notre-Dame de Paris, is pretty good. It has a gorgeous three-part ballad about Esmeralda ("Belle").

RDJ to star in space cowboy movie - so, in this context, what do they mean by "tentpole"?
