'Serenity'
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 Democratic Governors Association has a hilarious get-ramped-up-for-November video that they're debuting at Netroots this weekend. It includes lots of inspirational speeches from movies, from Animal House to LotR. Very funny!
If I never hear that Arcade Fire song again, it'll be too soon!
(it is funny, though!)
In the category of WAIT, WHAT? Guillermo del Toro is directing a reboot of Haunted Mansion for Disney. (Just announced at SDCC.)
Maybe this one won't suck!
A reboot of the movie that was just made, with Eddie Murphy? Reboots are coming faster and faster these days. Must be Windows-based.
The Eddie Murphy movie was in 2003, and was AWFUL. I am all for a reboot. Especially since the BIG quote from del Toro is "Haunted Mansion will be live-action, 3D, and "the most haunted mansion on Earth." Will not be a comedy."
(Thank you, Twitter, for breaking news.)

Though IIRC a lot of the set and prop design was gorgeous. I don't suppose there's a design book available like the one on Alice in Wonderland, to spare design whores the misery of having to endure all the bad acting and writing just to get to the pretty stuff?

Yes it was. Whooo.

The Haunted Mansion: From The Magic Kingdom To The Movies. So not a complete design book, but it does have design sketches and photos from the movie.
Ooooh! ::bookmarks::
It's official: Joss Whedon is directing the Avengers movie!
eta: Joss sez:
I'm still writing the outline. I am at the stage where I am reworking and reworking. What I love about this is that there is no way that these people should be in the same room together, let alone the same team. And that, to me, is the definition of family.
