the latest Mummy movie?
It was dull.
Despite lots of action sequences and fights and special effects, it was dull.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

they should never make one of these things without Oded Fehr
They should never make any film without Oded Fehr.
I loved Michele Yao, but she wasn't given enough to do.
This really irritated me. The movie was sweepingly dull to begin with, so I kept waiting for Michelle Yeoh to appear because she's wonderful... but they really didn't know what to do with her.
I did like the first two Mummy films for mindless fun. I need mindless fun sometimes. But this one just... I was kind of fidgety through it all, which is never a good sign.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I stand abashed (...) at my spelling gaffe.
It was phonetic! Yeah.

Okay - that piece also reports:
Rumors also have Johnny Depp starring as The Riddler, Angelina Jolie as Catwoman and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin in the follow-up to this summer's blockbuster "The Dark Knight."
Hmmm, Johnny Depp as the Riddler. . .

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Cher? As Catwoman???
That makes no sense. He most be joking.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
sumi, all that shit is clearly just rumors. We haven't even gotten an official title for a third movie from Nolan's camp. Hell, I don't think he's even committed to a third movie officially.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Johnny Depp as the Riddler. . .
I'd watch that. They wouldn't even need to include Batman.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hey now! Gary and Heath and sometimes Aaron get all the love, but I want to stand up for Christian. I love his emo little self and the darkness of his knight (could they have said "White knight" more times in the movie? Even I got it.)
