I also dug Hugo Weaving.
Oh, yeah, he's always awesome.

Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
humph. Since the Samsung study I have reached the opposite conclusion.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
H, StY and I have always called Scott's movies "the ones with the visible air", i.e. Blade Runner's everpresent mobile smog, Legend's horrific sneezefest waft and drift of allergens, etc. So his devotion to 3D doesn't actually surprise me.

What Bev said.
Which means I won't need to watch any more Scott movies.
I was doing a big huge writeup of Captain America, noting my surprise at how clever and well-turned some of the dialogue was...then google told me that Joss had re-worked the script a bit, so yeah. Still a fan of the Whedon writing.

Coraline is really the only thing I've seen in recent years that made the 3D worth the extra cost and the eyestrain. I suppose if Laika or Aardman Animations make anything else in 3D I'll see it that way, but I opt for 2D versions whenever possible.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Haywire, a Jason Statham-type action flick with a woman MMA fighter in the lead role. Plus Ewan MacGregor and Michael Douglas and Channing Tatum.
I think that's Soderbergh, isn't it? He saw the MMA fighter in something and decided he had to make an action movie for her. Which explains the hefty cast. It does make me wonder if he really will ever retire, though.
Just checked IMDB and yep, that's the one. Antonio Banderas and Bill Paxton too? Huh. [link]

Ahaha, I bet if I watched it again I could pick out a number of his contributions. Like, how much you wanna bet he was responsible for the kid thrown in the water who said, "I can swim! Go get him!!" ?

I'm so sure.
Plus many of Col. Phillips' first lines, and Steve's response when Dr. Erskine asks if he can hear him.
