Mal ,'The Train Job'
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.
On the rare occasions I catch original series reruns, I care more, but it's with the fondness for a childhood toy.
And to play "How fast can I identify this episode?" Bonus points if you can id it just from the picture of the planet they're orbitting.

Done that.
I once blew Miracleman's mind by identified an episode of Next Gen within about a second, just by the star field in the opening shot.
I think the first Spider-Man flick ignored a lot of canon yet remained faithful to the soul of the character. I was annoyed by MJ but I loved the film. I'm hoping Star Trek will succeed similarly.

That's hardcore, dude.
Sean, I say this with all affection, man: NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!

That was, perhaps, the most impressive display of geekery I have ever seen.

Damn.
That reminds me of the time my family sat down to watch a Hindi movie called Chocolate. My mom said it was a Bollywood remake of some movie, but she couldn't remember which one. From the very first shot, I identified it as The Usual Suspects. She was mighty impressed. (I can't remember whether I had any plot details to work with when making that guess. But they started with the exact same shot of the dock, for fuck's sake.)

Now I'm imagining The Usual Suspects with musical numbers. Or trying to - it's not quite happening, but my brain feels fuzzy today.
Heh-- Have you seen the "Benny Lava" video, Frank?
It's like Miami Vice meets Bollywood.

There were no musical numbers in...wait, I think there was a party scene. Anyway, it wasn't a typical song-and-dance extravaganza.
