Sorry, ita. I think this gamble is going to pay off mostly because there aren't that many people who are really invested in the original. It looks good to me, too. Half Iron Man, half The Tick.

I'm not even sure what ita means. Apart from Bruce Lee, what legacy is there in Green Hornet?

What, no love for Van Johnson?

Wrong Van there, Matt.

It has two previous iterations, in neither of which was the Hornet an idiot and the fight scenes were good on the TV show. I find this new incarnation deeply irritating. I can't wait until I'm no longer presented with the promotional material.

From a Guardian interview I see that Scorsese's next movie will be a 3-D version of...

Yet now he is confounding expectations with an adaptation of Brian Selznick's child-friendly "historical fiction" book The Invention of Hugo Cabret – his first film to be made in 3D. Hugo Cabret has been described by Selznick as "not exactly a novel, not quite a picture book, not really a graphic novel or a flip book, but a combination of all these things". Will Scorsese's film, which reteams him with Aviator screenwriter John Logan and features (among others) Ben Kingsley, Christopher Lee, Ray Winstone and Sacha Baron Cohen, be as hard to categorise? It certainly seems so. Set in Paris in the 1920s, the tale centres on a 12-year-old "orphan, clock-keeper and thief" who "lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity". An encounter with an eccentric girl and the owner of small toy kiosk in the train station sets in motion a mysterious adventure involving a stolen key, a treasured notebook, and an enigmatic mechanical man (or "automaton") – with the real-life figure of cinematic pioneer Georges Méliès providing the crucial link between inventive fantasy and historical fact.

OK, I was not prepared to see Chris Pine in makeup, a red dress, and a black pageboy wig dancing around with Diane Keaton in Surrender Dorothy. But now that I have, I suspect Unstoppable is going to be much more entertaining than it would have been had I seen it first.

I'm going to go on the record and say, FUCK 3D.

Scola is me.

I'm hoping it will go the way of the 8track.

I saw the new HP at a 10:40 am show today and I must say nobody laughed at that scene that David mentions above. I thought that they did a credible job at compressing the camping sequences and I must admit that I haven't reread the book and don't recall Luna's room, the stature of Harry or the Dudley handshake.

I also cried when Hedwig sacrificed herself and where I thought that George had died. . . I clearly need to reread the book because I'm forgetting when things happen. Had we not met Bill Weasely before? I thought we hadj!
