Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

There are at least 2 things wrong with this:

Baz Luhrmann said that he has "workshopped" his upcoming film The Great Gatsby in 3D, though he has not made a final decision about whether to shoot the Carey Mulligan/Leonardo DiCaprio project that way or not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He's so avant garde. All those directors who just rehearse in 2D.

t /undoubtedly ignoring huge logistical differences

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Man, Entourage turns out real again? Of course, that was Scorcese's "Gatsby"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh my God, you guys. You know I like everything, even The Village and sort of The Happening, but I don't think I have ever actually laughed out loud at a ridiculous plot twist before.

And then I watched Knowing.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

It should be a basic rule of moviegoing: If you see Nicholas Cage in the previews and he's not being yelled at by Cher or Holly Hunter, DO NOT SEE!
