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.
So I just finished reading Moby Dick today. I went on line to see which was the movie version I'd seen ages ago where they stole one character's death and handed it to another character. I just found out, not only is there going to be a miniseries this fall but Timur Bekmambetov is working on a feature film! Holy boy- I can't wait to see this story through his eyes.
uh-oh now I'm scared...
Ahab will be depicted more as a charismatic leader than a brooding obsessive.
“Our vision isn’t your grandfather’s ‘Moby Dick,’ ” Cooper said. “This is an opportunity to take a timeless classic and capitalize on the advances in visual effects to tell what at its core is an action-adventure revenge story.”
amyth got the Inception shooting script from Amazon yesterday. I can't wait to read it.

Ooh, I would frame that minimalist poster. That's gorgeous.
Michael Phillips of the Tribune uses the release of Step Up 3D to take a look at 3D musicals, dating back to the '50s.
The artist was selling prints, but last I looked they're gone. Probably got a C&D.
And now something NOT Inception-related!

Opinion please. Would the use of the word "cheesy" offend Escape from New York fans in the following?
==========================
I think that x can best be understood through analogy to a cheesy 1981 John Carpenter film.
Escape from New York was set in a future New York City (in distant 1988!) which had been turned into a giant maximum security prison. Reactions to its cartoon violence, cynicism, B-movie sensibility and badly concealed idealism vary from love to hate to mockery.
