I'm less skeptical than I would be if it weren't being adapted by the Wachowskis. Even if they completely frell it up, it won't be boring.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They bored me with Reloaded and Revolutions, so I'll wait and see.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Reloaded definitely improves upon rewatch. I should know, I've seen it like a dozen times. The fucking car chase alone gets me every single time.
Revolutions is too cerebral (and WAY too much Smith). I don't really care that the Brothers wanted the story to be about the machines (or the software running the machines). That's not who I gave a shit about.

Jesus, does Gosling have a batch of septuplets to send to college? Why is he in a movie per week?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
BTW, ita !, one of the Americorps volunteers I work with (but not in my crew) looks Just Like Gosling. And gets that all the time, apparently. It's very distracting and I swear he was flirting with me today, which was even more distracting, but I couldn't seem to stop.

I just saw my first promo for Real Steel... am I wrong, or did somebody just make a movie version of Rockem Sockem Robots?? And WHY??

I totally presumed it was Rockem Sockem Robots when I saw the trailer at the theater.

Gosling-alike is 22. Must. Remain. Professional.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
And WHY??
Because it's hilarious?
Maybe that wasn't supposed to be my reaction to the trailer.
