'Out Of Gas'
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.
Forget Zombies vs. Robots. Here comes The Kitchen Sink:
Well, the plot follows a bunch of high school kids who are attacked by zombies. While they're on the run, the zombies are then attacked by vampires. Before aliens land on Earth, and everybody has to band together to fight them.
WITH ROBOTS?

Ooh that is a fun game. I finished 84/5 but I got a few repeats.
I feel like Seven had incredible opening titles, but now I can't remember why.
Because every movie that was made afterwards ripped them off shamelessly and only stopped when the same team that created the original Se7en title sequence did the opening titles for Panic Room and then everyone started copying those instead. (I think it was Panic Room - the thing where the 3-D credits hang in the air among the scenery? They did it first and then it started showing up everywhere.)
Ah ha! That's why they don't look so exciting now -- like when you see Casablanca or whatever, and the script feels like it's full of cliches....
Fincher is good with title sequences (or knows who to hire). Fight Club had a doozy too.
Another Oscar nominee has emerged as a contender for the main role of Katniss Everdeen: 20-year-old Winter's Bone star Jennifer Lawrence has reportedly read for the role and even emerged as the runaway favorite. Her competition for the part reportedly includes fellow Oscar nominees Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), both of whom are quite a bit younger than Lawrence. Steinfeld is the only one who has confirmed she's in the running, so don't take any of this as confirmed, but it seems like a safe bet that director Gary Ross and Lionsgate are looking for a prestigious young actress for the main role.

Oh yeah, loved those as well.

Also a good choice.
Diane Lane has been cast as Martha Kent in the new Superman movie.
So, Martha and Jonathan will be heartbroken by their proven longstanding inability to have children by the time she was 19?
None of them look like Katniss though. Katniss has dark hair, eyes, and olive skin, so in my mind's eye, I have always thought of her as italian, greek, or mediterranean. She's really a young version of Lisbeth Salander - but from southern europe.
Of those mentioned though, I prefer Steinfeld. I think she could really bring it.
Matt: bwhah!
