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!

Sumi, we had in the books, but not the movie I think. What is with the bad weasely hair? Why must one of them always have horrible hair?

Sumi they briefly showed Bill and Charlie Weasley in one of the early movies, but they were different actors. And they haven't included all of the stuff where Harry builds a relationship with Bill (who comes out in the books during the TriWizard Tournament). Also since they didn't include the climactic battle in HBP, you don't see Fenrir slashing up Bill's face, which is supposed to be quite a bit more disfigured than we see in the movie. Like that.

Just saw HP:

I actually shook my head when Bill introduced himself to Harry. I think it is a crime that he hadn't been seen in any meaningful way prior to this film.

Beau has not read the books, but has seen all the movies and he did not get this latest movie at all. He thought it was confusing and made no sense. He also asked me: "what is wrong with the man with the long blond hair?"

I followed the movie well enough but I think they could have cut some scenes in favor of giving us more Hogwarts, etc. Even though that isn't in the book. The wand exposition really overburdens this story something serious. And I remember reading about the Deathly Hallows, saying to myself: this is how HP will be able to live and conquer Voldemore!

I think they needed to make more connection to some of the random things that seemed to be brought up and the bigger picture.

I have a deep fear that the second movie will not feature the badass scene I was hoping for at Hogwarts. I think they are going to fuck up the battle scene and it should just be really epic. Some of the camera work in this movie was kind of bad and I'm trying not to be fearful of what this might mean for important scenes in the future, but I don't want to get my hopes up.

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.

If Green Hornet has anything as insulting as Kato somehow having less chops than either Burt Ward or Adam West, I'll be on the outrage train. Otherwise, NSM.
