Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
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.
In other words, SWEET.
In other Comic Book Movie News, I'm amusing myself by looking in old threads at how people reacted to Heath Ledger's casting as The Joker.

Hee. Well, it seemed silly at the time!
Heh. The Dark Knight is already the #4 movie of all time on IMDb.
Man, I hope I love this movie. I'll settle for really liking it, but, damn, I really want to love the shit out of it.
The Watchman trailer is now available at Apple, so catch it in glorious Quicktime!
Mmm... HD...
It looks faithful.
I didn't want to hope, but...yeah. It does. I recognized those images. Wow.
HOLY SHIT!!!! That Watchmen trailer is awesome! I know from some set photos I'd seen I knew they were doing the street corner in the book so close to the comic it was scary, but this is going to a whole other level of faithfulness.
I'm curious how this kind of slavish faithfulness to Alan Moore is going to play compared to how Sin City and 300 were to Frank Miller, where the testosterone overload ruled all.
I've been excited about Watchmen since I saw the first image of The Comedian. I'm overly annoyed that the movie continues to be called "The Watchmen" at work. I hope they fix it before it shows up on marquees.
in other news- I finally saw Cloverfield. Was it here that someone said it was an art film poorly disguised as a monster movie? Spot on, imo. I wish I'd read the trivia on imdb before I sent the disc back. I would have liked to watch the end again so I could see the splash in the background at Coney Island.
I just rented it the other night, and it's extremely difficult to spot on DVD even if you know when and where to look for it.

I still won't be convinced until I see it with my own eyes, but people have had good things to say about him in the role. I suppose seeing some of my grandmother's mannerisms on that clown face will help make him seem suitably creepy to me.
Your reaction is the one I'm most eager to read (because your first reaction was the most negative and the funniest).
