Buffy ,'Potential'
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.
Mal laughed like a drain during the Yogi Bear preview. In the silence afterwards, he turned to me and I said "NO. No no no." to the delight of the parents behind us.
I think he liked that preview better than Megamind, but I figure I was the target audience for MM. Mal knows Mario, but not Donkey Kong, ya know?
Beiber went all Usher.
Cheated on a member of TLC?
I will admit that clip Bieber made for Funny or Die about buying a club he was refused entry to and turning it into a Chuck E Cheese's in revenge was hilarious.
We got both Green Hornet and Green Lantern previews on Friday when we saw HP7 but no Cowboys and Aliens (which I wanted to see) but instead got that awful Yogi Bear movie (sorry JT I just can't) and Cars II but we also got Tron (in IMAX) so it balanced out.
As for HP7, my husband hasn't read any of the books, even so he enjoyed it but said it was confusing leading to a discussion between the kids and I about what got left out/added in which just made things worse for the DH. It seemd to go pretty fast to me - didn't seem like 2.5 hours for the most part and it was enjoyable.
We got Green Hornet, Green Lantern, Cowboys and Aliens, Yogi Bear and . . . I think there was something else but I cannot remember what it was.
The sucky part about when the Buffy movie fails is that they will say that a young woman can't carry a movie. Because they said it about "Amelia" which failed not because it was a movie about a woman, but because it was a picture postcard with words in it(And not particularly compelling words, at that. I am the target for such a film, and I barely got through it on a Saturday afternoon, pre-paid. If I had paid folding money for that specifically, I'd be pissed.)
oops, I liked "Amelie", but it does have its faults. :-)
I saw the "Yogi Bear" trailer and I nearly cried out with rage. What did they do to my boo-boo?
The Earhart movie...not Amelie. Amelie was good...very French, but good. The Earhart movie with Hilary Swank(who now always makes me think of the Office poll on her,) was beautiful, but somehow...flat. I don't know why.
Hasn't Anne Hathaway carried a number of recent movies in which she was the protagonist?
Alonso Duralde makes me laugh:
As one critic who caught an early screening confided, "It's not the next 'Showgirls'...but it might be the new 'Coyote Ugly.'" And now that I’ve seen "Burlesque" for myself, I'm in the awkward position of having the defend the honor of "Coyote Ugly."
