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....
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fincher is good with title sequences (or knows who to hire). Fight Club had a doozy too.

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

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

Oh, how could I have forgotten one of my favorite opening title sequences of all time: Zombieland.

Just watched Paranormal Activity 2. It's not as good as the first one (even slower build, and not nearly enough hot sexy demon action), but I love the way it connects to the first movie, so if you liked the first one, it's worth watching.
