the biggest opening ever for a female director
That's cool. Bond is kicking the sparkly vampires' asses over here but they've got Twilight on four screens down the street so they're probably taking a lot of our business.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Ple, the article includes a particular appreciation for Nothing Sacred.
As is right and good!
Hec, I think we're on a similar place regarding QoS. I loved it, thought the acting and pacing were improved over all from the last one, but DAMN, it was grim and more Bourne than Bond.

New Moon was greenlighted as a result of the box office take this weekend.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
DH's write-up of the Star Trek preview clips
So it sounds like they're completely ditching Robert April as the first captain of the Enterprise (which is fine, I guess, since his place in canon is debated) as well ditching as Number One as Pike's first officer, which is pretty lame, IMO.

::gives Paul Greengrass the stinkeye for general steadicam ruination::
If the camera is shaky it is by definition NOT steadicam. Sam Raimi perfected shaky cam in the Evil Dead movies, but NEITHER is what you're thinking of. Your talking about hand-held. BIG DIFFERENCE!
Examples of steadicam (or a similar equivalent) action sequences? See Children of Men.

I am corrected. Actually my favorite steadicam action sequence is in Raising Arizona.

Well, they've already fucked with canon by making Kirk and Spock the same age, haven't they? Or having them at the Academy at the same time.

The description from Jessica's DH has Spock serving on the Enterprise while Kirk is still a cadet.

Oh, so you mean it would help if I'd actually read the article in question, rather than just blabbing away?
