That's...kind of awesome. I might have to see it now.

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'd wondered if I had confused it with some other movie when I saw a car appear out nowhere in an orange flash like an infernally-powered Delorean in one of the ads.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That sounds even more badass than the similar scene in Shoot 'Em Up.

Only if Nic Cage had previously killed someone with a carrot. And the girlfriend was lactating. I don't think the swigging tops that combo.

I just watched Buried, the movie where Ryan Reynolds is trapped in a coffin, and it's pretty great. I mean, as great as a movie about Ryan Reynolds trapped in a coffin can be, of course. Basically ninety minutes of pure oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit.

I was pretty impressed with its ability to remain tense and interesting without ever leaving the fucking coffin. There are a few minutes here and there where it gets a little repetitive with the sounds of Ryan Reynolds groaning and struggling and screaming, but they pass quickly enough, and I'll bet they're more effective if you're totally into the movie and not eating dinner at the same time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone spoiled me for the ending of Buried the other day. Hmmph. I'll put it in my queue anyway.
If I decided I want to see Alexander, should I rent the director's cut or theatrical, or should I shoot myself?
Watching Push right now. It's not brilliant, but I like it well enough. I do wish Fanning's skirt were longer, though.

I like the whump factor in Push, and that for all that there is a cute [slutty] kid in it, it's not kid friendly.

Aw, that's too bad, but I think it'll still be good. It's more about the journey than the destination.
Push was good times, if only for being set somewhere besides LA or NYC. But there was all sorts of other cool stuff too.
