IO9 described The Adjustment Bureau as Philip K Dick + romantic comedy. I'm not sure where they got the comedy part from, but it's at least the aspiration of love to overcome the big bad forces of fate.

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.

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I liked "Adjustment Bureau." Less of an action story and more of romance fighting obstacles in alternate universe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha, I didn't know the Literal Video meme had extended to trailers: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Literal Trailer.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
A friend of mine directed a documentary called "Orgasm Inc." about how drug companies are trying to profit from "female sexual dysfunction". It's funny, provocative, yadda yadda yadda. But it's not yet on Netflix. If this sounds like a movie you'd like to see, and you have Netflix, please save it to your queue. The more people who add it, the more likely it is that Netflix will get it. [link]

Yeah, it's been getting some good press. I'm really happy for her.
