The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I just got back from seeing Rango. What a delightfully strange movie. It was downright surreal and/or trippy in parts, which shouldn't have surprised me, given the Hunter S. Thompson cameo in the movie's first five minutes.

What did surprise me is how gorgeous the cinematography was. Absolutely breathtaking.

Because books.

I've decided that Zack Snyder's demographic is pretty exclusively 13 year-old boys, and that I should just stop bothering to be interested in anything he produces.

I thought his remake of Dawn of the Dead was fantastic. And 300 was technically really cool, and mostly coherent. But it's been all downhill from there.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I KNOW, Anne! Gorgeousness and weirdness in one fun package!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Is Suckerpunch based on a graphic novel or is it just trying to look like it is?

move out and draw fire

I've had that same question, sj. Based on reading the reviews I'd say no, but the logo desgin seems too good for Hollywood.

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

James Van Der Beek makes a movie with Sam Elliot. Antonio Banderas and Snoop Dogg star. Cosmic sex happens.

I am curious.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I really liked Watchmen

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I liked it too, Laga. And I liked Dawn of the Dead. But 300 was surprisingly boring.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Would 300 have been a good movie in a language you did not speak?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Dawn of the Dead is probably the movie that turned me into a true horror fan. I didn't enjoy 300 much but I'm glad I saw it so I could really appreciate Robot Chicken's 1776.
