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.

If you want to see the Half Blood Prince trailer on the big screen better get out to a movie this week, we'll be pulling it Friday.
wow I've never seen this done before

Ha ha ha. I imagine that going to some phone in the janitor's closet or something.
it'd be so awesome if Jack Black answered.
Even better if Simple Jack answered.

Best would be Cruise as Les Grossman. My favorite Grossman threat: "I'm going to shove my fist so far up your ass, if you have a thought it's going to have to tiptoe around my wedding band!"
Okay, back from Clone Wars.
Looked beautiful on the big screen. Lots of snappy dialogue between Anakin and his new padawan Ahsoka, which suffers from lack of snappiness.
You know what? Joss will write this stuff for you for free, George Lucas. Seriously, he'd lock himself in a motel room with a case of Red Bull and knock off a season's worth of quips, 93% of them actually funny. It would make such a difference in the quality of the whole thing just not having the stupid dialogue.
Sigh.
Anyway, some of the plot machinations were underthought and over plotty. For example, there's a scene where the droids are attacking behind a force shield and they're unstoppable unless somebody is able to shut off the generator. Except, they're crossing a bridge and Obi Wan could've just aimed his cannon at the bridge and stopped their advance.
The fights - both spaceshippy and lightsabery - were exciting and cool.
Lots of women characters with stuff to do. Ventress is an intriguing villain. Amidala more than decorative. Ahsoka is headstrong and reckless and snapless with the dialogue. Which wouldn't have been such a big deal except she spends a lot of time quipping. Oh well.
Emmett liked it. He's about the ideal audience.
Why didn't anybody tell me 2 Days In Paris is so funny?
