Not sure if this belongs in here or music, but did we hear about the Jeff Buckley biopic.
I know people who knew him well. There could be actors portraying people I know. That will be weird.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Saw Hanna today. It was good, in a "spy thriller with a teenage girl who kills people right and left, but doesn't know how to deal with the modern world" kind of way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love stories about assassin kids. Well, okay, Kickass never appealed, but that was pretty much Cage's fault. But I do like the trope.

Yeah, it's always great to see some "little girl" go all Buffy on some killer's ass.
My brother compared it to Leon: The Professional, which I thought was apt.

Killer Kids in the Movies - A Murderous Montage from NYMag's Vulture
With the release of Hanna, a new movie about a child assassin, NYMag's Vulture pop culture blog decided to take a look back at the bloody history of killer kids in the movies with a video montage. Warning: there's gore galore in this murderous retrospective, but it will definitely bring back memories for horror or action fans. It's got everyone from Kick-Ass's Hit Girl to Pet Sematery's Gage.
The scenes Vulture has assembled represent each kid's finest kills, so don't be surprised if it's a bit graphic. Graphically AWESOME, that is.

I like Bradley Cooper. I really do. But he should be somewhere playing the Flash, not The Crow.

I'm sorry, but Dude is about as dark and edgy as tapioca pudding.

He did dark and edgy pretty well in his last movie. But that doesn't make him right for The Crow.

He did dark and edgy pretty well in his last movie.
Plus "One out of five, bitch! One out of five!" (did I get that right?)
But I agree. So NOT The Crow.
