Joyce ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
My only worry is that they were advertising it months and months ago, like early last year, and then it disappeared. So I don't know if they pushed the release date back, which is sometimes a bad sign.
I think it looks good, though I am a sucker for Matt Damon.
I missed the talk about it the first time round--I only noticed it in the previews before The King's Speech. It looks interesting, and Slattery is always a win.
I've loved John Slattery since Homefront.
Any pre-buzz on The Adjustment Bureau?
Yeah they pushed The Adjustment Bureau back from the fall to now. Official line to us (we were slated to move standees, etc for them) was that they needed "tent poles" for 2011 but since the release date is Feb, I'm thinking that the studio wasn't thrilled with the outcome. I don't think I know anyone who has seen it in screenings yet.
eta: Uni pushed back 2 other films at the same time but for the life of me I can't remember what they were, but the release dates were also in the Feb/Mar/April time-frame
Now that I'm into the $7 matinees, I might just see it anyway. I mean, if I'm still into them then.
Recasting superheroes with vintage hollywood stars.
I guess I'm a hater, but I'd rather have Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan than Jimmy Stewart. And I'd cast Warren Beatty as Batman over Robert Redford.
Dawn,
the release date is actually early March.
look, if the ratings are decent, I'm in there. It is exactly the kind of movie I tend to enjoy. I'm not proud. I saw Minority Report.
I like Minority Report!
Me too!
Ugh.
