And they're scouting locations for Deathly Hallows already.
My bedroom for making the Potter-Sprog for the epilogue would do nicely.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Kirk is cool. Star Trek is not. The whole thing -- not a character or a scene. I wish I could think of another word that encapsulates what I mean.
Naked emotion may be a desirable human quality (or not), but it's the opposite of cool's reserve.
Actually, maybe that does get at a part of it. Because Star Trek is not reserved: it is explictly preachy. Of the movies, I always thought the 4th was the most true to the spirit of the show because, my god, it's about saving the whales.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm thinking about having a movie marathon this weekend at the bargain theater. They've currently got Burn After Reading, The Dark Knight, and Wall-E playing there, and I've not seen any of them (this year's been pretty lean on the movie-going front). If I time it well, I can go see all three on Friday (for only $6 total), and follow it with dinner at the Indian restaurant next door.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That sounds like an awesome day, Kathy.

Kathy, I'm not sure what others would say, but I think you should watch TDK last.
When I saw that movie the first time, I don't think I could have watched another movie right after.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think I could watch The Dark Knight, take a short break and then watch Wall-e. I wouldn't want to eat directly after Dark Knight. I still haven't seen Burn After Reading.

See, I was going to suggest watching TDK first (dark) and then lightening the mood with Burn After Reading (dark, but funny) and finishing up with the gleeful Wall-E.
It sounds like my days of enjoying the Paris summer film festival--a 3-day weekend when you would get a "passport" when you paid full price to the first show you attended, and then every show after that was 10 francs (about $1.50) for the rest of the weekend. People would schedule their days to take in 5 or so shows a day. Paris has a lot of movie screens so there were tons of options, from art-house retrospectives to blockbusters.
Also fun was the "18 heures/18 francs" week when whatever showing started at 6pm (or so) was 18 francs and we would see a movie a day for the whole week.
Good times.
