I don't see a lot of love here for Meet the Robinsons.
Never seen it.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ooh. "I don't want to kill you," Heath Ledger's psycho Joker tells Christian Bale's stalwart Batman. "You complete me."
It's about damn time for a batslash revival .

Hey. New board.
Wow. Wall-E is really raking in the positive reviews. Not that I'm surprised - I've had faith since the teaser.
Too bad my tomorrow is pretty much completely planned out, with no time for robots.

In Bruges is so good. And funny, and beautiful, and horrific and sad. The dialogue is great, and all the characters come to life in a refreshingly multi-faceted way. There are no one-note, 2-D characters here.

I'm having a Finding Nemo response to Wall-E. As in, I don't want to see it because it seems to have such an incredibly sad premise.
And yet, FN was not sad (esp. if you skip the intro). And the DH wants to see it, which is rare.
So get this: Mal's daycare is taking all the kids to a special kids-only showing (of Wall-E or Horton, age-dependent), and while they are there I think the parents are going to go see Wall-E separately.
Meet the Robinsons: My bad, for skimming. The frogs are the best part. Also, it's sort of the Disneyfied version of the old Castle Amber D&D adventure.

We are thinking of going to see Wall-E all together, as a family. Mostly because we'll be in Athens with not much to do and no sitter. I am not sure Dillo will last through it - he is not two until next month - but he DOES LOVE robots. So it's possible he may just sit in my lap and say, "Robot! Robot!" for an hour and 46 minutes or whatever the run time is. I hope, anyway.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Someone's been reading Todd Alcott, I think. He wrote about No Country for Old Men containing references to their other movies. I think sometimes he's reaching, but:
the examination of trailer-park life, as well as the Lone Biker of the Apocalypse, here resurrected as the dead-serious Anton Chigurh. (In Raising, the Lone Biker shoots at a lizard on a rock as he drives past, in No Country Chigurh shoots at a bird on a bridge as he drives past -- and misses. The scene is straight from the book.) Also, the scene where the fugitive has a strange conversation with a gas-station attendant.
(There is another, funnier reference to Raising -- in No Country, Sheriff Bell squats down to examine the dent in the wall made by Chigurh shooting out the lock -- in Raising, the Lone Biker squats in the exact same attitude to examine the word "FART" scrawled on the wall.)
