Pete, on the first one, I don't think so. As for both, I'll try to remember to pay attention tomorrow and report back.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My question is, will Yogi Bear be even more terrible than Cats and Dogs 2?
In this preview, don't Yogi and Booboo look... freakish? [link]

Hey smonster, when you watch it, let me know if in that final tracking shot from Cobb to the totem if the soundtrack is that slowed down version of Je ne Regrette Rien because that would be very strong evidence that the dreamer awakes at the moment the credits hit.
Also, have you caught Bronson yet?

So, Ackroyd and Timberlake are autotuned for the Yogi movie? What, they couldn't find VO actors who could actually do the voices?
Sheesh.
Weirdly, I found a review...that I didn't read...claiming that Cats & Dogs 2 is better than the original. Damning with faint praise, I know, but apparently ONE person liked it. Or, at least was not inspired to seizure by it.

Pete, will do. I think I'm going to need to make a list of stuff to look out for! Heh. Anyone else got a request?
As for Bronson, no. Not sure I'm going to. Rock n Rolla and The Virgin Queen are higher on the priority list, I think.

Because books.
I definitely want to see Rock n Rolla, but I think I'd put Wuthering Heights over The Virgin Queen, just because it looks he's only in four episodes of that. (And we just finished watching The Tudors, too.) I bet he makes an awesome Heathcliff.

See, I read Wuthering Heights three times as a teen and hated it all three. I kept rereading to see if I'd missed something. Maybe Tom Hardy would make it worthwhile? IDK.

I've liked a few of the movie versions. But then I don't hate the book, so. I read it at ten and found it all very Dramatic Doomed Love. I can see where Heathcliff is a horror show now, and Cathy, too, but I'm still weirdly fond of the story.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Hmm. I also hate Wuthering Heights. But I do like Tom Hardy.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Wait, he played Heathcliff? Huh.
I would love to see a version of Wuthering Heights done as a straight-up horror story of manipulation, just because. I keep meaning to re-read the damn book to see if that mindset makes me want to slap Cathy and Heathcliff less.
