I'm not remotely concerned about damage to the canon. The canon can look after itself. I'm concerned that people keep making movies I really ought to be interested in, except they look so crappy. Hollywood is not meeting my entertainment needs, and it's a drag.

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.

I thought Wrath of Khan was about how obsession destroys the obsessed. All that "to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee" stuff. Which makes it a whaling yarn, when you get down to it.
Really, all it lacked was Khan lashed to the outside of the Reliant with a harpoon when it exploded.

They're remaking—excuse me, rebooting—Cliffhanger. CLIFFHANGER.
Christ, the remake stupidity is so large - there are plans in the works for remakes of SUSPIRIA and VIDEODROME?!!?!?!? Whatever you think of the originals (I love them both deeply myself) they are two movies that are almost inextricably linked to their directors. W?T?F?!??!?!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Up has been our motivation for Owen's best behavior. He tells everyone he meets that we're going to see it on May 29.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yes!
The British UFO TV series is headed for the big screen
Robert Evans is teaming with ITV Global on a feature film based on the 1970s British TV series UFO, Variety reported.
Evans is producing with Avi Haas and Henri M. Kessler. Ryan Gaudet and Joseph Kanarek are penning a script.
The series debuted in 1970 and ran for three years, with characters created by Gerry Anderson. It was set in 1980 and revolves around Shado (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organization), a covert military organization that thwarts an alien race that has been kidnapping and killing humans for decades, then using the body parts.
Shado headquarters is hidden beneath a Hollywood studio, and the studio mogul is actually the Shado commander. The movie will be set in the year 2020.
Please please please let the moon chicks have purple hair....

I should warn you - the 6 year-old sitting next to us had a lot of trouble following the plot. I think he still enjoyed it, but he was constantly asking his mom what was happening.

Trust my rage
Ellie does that even when she's seen the movie 23 times.
Although I do think that she has trouble following Bolt.
