I think my favorite Oliver Stone movie moment was actually not in an Oliver Stone movie, but was in Dave, when Stone shows up on Larry King to put forth the wacky theory that the president isn't really the president. Since it's Stone saying this, King laughs it off as just another one of Oliver's crazy thoughts, when in actuality, he's the only one who has it right!
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

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.

I'm with Kathy -- that's the moment that makes me give Stone some credit for being able to laugh at himself.

And I saw the Trek movie and now understand why some people want to call it their favorite of the series.
Me, I want to draw pink sparkle hearts around Z. Quinto's performance, which just made the movie for me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Woohoo Star Trek!
Also, we got a trailer for Land of the Lost. My deepest condolences to fans of the series.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Finally got around to watching Quantum of Solace. Bo-ring.

Because books.
I agree with you there, P-C. As much as I adored Casino Royale, the follow-up put me to sleep.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
ZOMG STAR TREK SO AWESOME LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE.
Ahem. I do have some bones to pick (Bones, nrgh), but on the whole? LOOOOOOOVE. Also, I can see the debt to a) Firefly and b) Star Wars. I was getting a mad Empire vibe in a few scenes. Awesome casting all the way through. (Again, nrgh, Bones.)
The audience was Displeased at the GG Bridge getting attacked. Again.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch Firefly, Star Wars, and whichever Trek movies I have in the house. And then everything with Karl Urban.

We got the Land of the Lost trailer TWICE. I made a strategic decision to go out to the bathroom when it started again (the theatre was running through some of the preshow stuff twice because of technical difficulties) so I was spared some of the pain.
If the trailer is this bad, how awful must the entire movie be? I mean, one assumes they cherry-picked the best moments for the trailer... right?

One does assume. One also feels that way about the "GI Joe" trailer, and may or may not have started singing "America, Fuck Yeah!" when it came on.

No shit. I have seen the trailer twice now (before Wolverine as well) and it does not get better on second viewing. I like the actress from "Pushing Daisies", so I feel very sorry for her.
Also? I thought the GI Joe trailer also made the movie look like shit on a cracker. Worse than Wolverine. And worse than Transformers 2.
