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.
Well, y'know I always expected to buy a PS3 & an Xbox, but the fact is that Sony cut some corners on the final internal arrangement of the cell processor and it's just not as powerful as it was originally boasted. If it was the 360 wouldn't be able to get in spitting distance of its graphics, but it can.
And I'm all of a sudden flashing back to that dinner at the Yachtsman's Steakhouse. You, Drew, and Lewis make a formidable geek trio...
Barb, one word; TORG!
No context for you the rest of you.

I'm married to a former game shop owner, I think there's some TORG around the house.
I hate when I get TORG on my feet, but not as bad when I step on a damned Gretchin or Space Marine.
It's a cute story. I'll save it for some time in the Gaming thread...
Still hoping to see Tropic Thunder this week.
A Veronica Mars movie? I'm not holding my breath.
Oooh, while burbling about Wes Studi over in Natter (as a biproduct of a game of FCM), I stumbled across this story at IMDB, about a sequel to Dances with Wolves, but this one possibly starring Viggo Mortensen instead of Kevin Costner. This would totally rock, especially because I remember Moriarty (from AICN), in his review of Fellowship of the Ring, saying that he thought that Viggo could have been an incredible John Dunbar (Viggo is apparently friends with Michael Blake, the writer of the book), and I completely agreed with him back then.
Although I don't know how Studi would "reprise his role" from the original film, considering his character was killed in the raid on the Lakota.

Lewis lifts his bottled water in toast to you, Pete.
ETA: Lewis just grabbed the computer from me...

I just watched Near Dark. I was a little confused because I thought it was a horror-comedy, but instead it was a vampire Western. In a world without any sort of pop-culture vampire knowledge, given that no one says the damn word.
It was a pretty neat take on vampires, though. Very grounded, not stylizing or glamorizing vampires but just sort of...following a group of dudes who happen to drink blood and incinerate in sunlight.
P-C -
That movie came out my first year in college. I went to a double-feature (my first college date ever! I felt like such a grown up girl).
My date and I were casually discussing the tv show "A Different World" (yes, I am OLD) before the first movie began and he told me that he thought the actresses were so hot on ADW that he wanted to (and I quote) "fuck every one of them on the show."
Due to that comment and other things, I decided that this guy wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but I'm a trooper so I decided to stick with the double feature. I loved ND (the first movie), but the second movie I still cannot see again to this day: The Living Daylights. I'm not sure if the movie is as bad as I remember, but damn if the conditions under which I saw the film made me really hate that movie. I don't think I saw another James Bond flick until "Casino Royale" two years ago.
