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.

Or the reviewers are grading on a curve....

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

Dwayne makes any movie golden.

I feel reluctant to test this by watching Tooth Fairy.

You know what? So do I, but I loved The Game Plan in spite of myself so I'll probably like Tooth Fairy too.

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

IO9 does not like Dylan Dog. I am disappoint.

I still can't look at Thor without think my boy should have been in it instead. Helmsworth can't be that much better, and my guys is prettier. And taller. I hadn't spoken to him in months, but I had to tell him I was sadface about the miscasting. However, Thor's getting great ratings so far. Good good. Maybe three of the four big comic movies can pull it out.

I've heard comics fans outside the States say the Hemsworth/Portman interactions are very reminiscent of Thor the Mighty Avenger, which makes me far more eager to see it than I was before.

See Cemetery Man instead. It's pretty awesome; same comic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, Cemetery Man is great.
