for some reason, I liked it better than PL - if you can believe it.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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.

Well, PL was violent, dark, and grim. In contrast, TF was playful, lush, and ultimately hopeful. So I can see one appealing over the other. Personally I was much more drawn into the story in PL and I like those high stakes, dark kind of stories. Both films were just amazing to look at from a purely visual perspective.

I had to stop it in the VCR after 40 minutes because Alexandria was inspiring levels of annoyance I hadn't experienced since Short Round.

yeah, PL was a bit too dark for me. if it hadn't dealt with kids, I think I would have taken it all a bit better.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
although I have to admit, I wasn't quite sure The Fall was going to be that hopeful. It seemed pretty grim there for awhile.

Really, Matt? I thought she was fantastic and adorable.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Variety is reporting that the Fox/Warner Bros. dispute over the rights to make the Watchmen movie has been settled with a large payoff to Fox. In addition to a cash payment between $5-10 million, plus payment of Fox’s legal fees,
I saw a trailer on TV, so I figured they were getting close to settling.

DW disliked her, too. She walked out on the movie about when you did, Matt.

In this, as in many things, we have wildly divergent tastes.

So in this Terminator film, Judgement Day has already happened, it took place in 2003 like the first two Terminator films say.
cue me screaming the untruthiness of this statement. i'm fairly certain Kyle never says what date Judgement Day is in T1(i haven't seen it nearly as much as T2). in T2 Judgement Day is established as happening on August 29, 1997. i can buy that the timeline is screwed because of all the time travel and it happens later, but trying to rewrite what date the other movies use is making me crazy. made me crazy in T:tSCC too.
otherwise? i'm fucking stoked for this movie.
