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.
Best interactive movie experience: dark theatre, lots of geeks, black screen, Scully's voice: "Mulder?" Shriek of joy.
(I liked the X-Files movies, I love seeing Moose and Squirrel in action. Nyah.)
The Cowboys and Aliens preview got a good reaction, too. I may have to make sure I see that in a theatre with a good sound system, and not wait for the dollar movie.
Does anyone know where the Stately Xavier Manor scenes in X-Men: First Class were filmed? It doesn't seem to be the same place as the school for gifted children in earlier X-Men movies (filmed at Hatley Castle, in BC). The current movie's location seems more tower-y, with fewer slanted roofs. I suppose it could be someone's dream mansion green-screened in.

Awesome--thanks, sj!
Darnit--I was going to see Company tonight, but I have too much school work to do. It's playing on Sunday, but I'm going to be spending the day with my dad. Tuesday night it's at far fewer theatres, but I can drive a bit and go see it anyway.
I'm taking CJ to see Company on Sunday. My high school performed Company my sophomore year and I was part of the stage crew - set building and lighting.
I enjoyed it a lot. The book is dated, but some of the scenes still work well and the actors sell the rest. And the score still KILLS. NPH is awesome.
I thought the book was impressively not dated, considering.
Spoiler regarding an actor who I believe filmed a scene in The Dark Knight Rises. There are not plot points associated with this information, but AV Club speculation.
The whole thing made my mouth fly open because I hadn't heard any of these rumors until now. There is a healthy spoiler warning on the page before you get to the info in case you have second thoughts.
