Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy darkies!

I'm just holding out for the animated sequel series, Korra: Legend of the Avatar, coming from the originators next year.
With any sort of luck that abominable travesty and waste of time and film will be eradicated from the collective memory.

Just got back from Harry Potter (seen with ChiKat and another friend--we went out to eat after the 7:30 show, which is why I'm not home until 1:30 am!!). Really liked it a lot; it was suitably dark, but had a lot of rather unexpected laugh lines, which the audience appreciated.
One of the trailers had a reaction that I think might be common, but one I'd never heard before. The trailer itself produced a lot of favorable buzz in the audience, but then ended with the title--Cowboys and Aliens--and the audience just cracked up. I think it just might be a big hit, from the buzz I was hearing.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Thought Harry Potter 7 was pretty good, all things considered. Too many scenes in really cold and/or damp places. It's foggy and freezing here, and we were sitting there in our coats wishing we'd waited for the DVD to play it in our living room where there is a fire. Most impressed with the kids' performances. Hard to believe they're the same actors who could have been replaced by lego figures and puppetry in the first movie and we wouldn't have noticed the difference.

Me, too! All three of them were really terrific. I had actually been a fan of Watson back in the first two films, and then grown distracted by her eyebrow acting between films 3 and 5. Grint has gotten much better from film 5 on. Radcliffe first impressed me with a single line delivery in PoA (when he said he was surprised he hadn't been arrested for blowing up his aunt) and then his overall performance in GoF and since then.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I don't even know what the movie's about, but Chris Pine + Tom Hardy + big guns = Must See For Me.
That is all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow. I guess I'm glad that scene was deleted from A:TLA? Although the fact it was filmed is appalling.

I'm so glad M Night is on the coloured people's side. Finally, we have a voice.
One of the IO9ers, Garrison Dean, makes fake trailers for stuff (he did the two that popped up in the Firefly thread a few months ago), and he did one for The Rock's Faster that The Rock is redistributing because he liked it so much.
