BetweenThe Muppets, Hugo, and The Artist, it's nostalgia week at the movies.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I saw Breaking Dawn this weekend. If you're in it for the emergency teeth section, you will be disappointed; if you're there for emotional pedophilia, it's brief, but blatant that and the rough sex (my man can't help it!) apologia, you're in the right place.
I really really dislike the franchise and its elevation in some people's eyes. it's womangirl as willing chattel and...
I can't even...

Damn, I was hoping for emergency teeth.

Hey. New board.
I completely disagree about Hugo in 3D. I think it's the third movie I've ever seen that is absolutely worthy of the technology, the others being Avatar and Coraline. I felt like the 3D really added to the movie. Which is wonderful.

Because books.
I was bummed they skipped that part of the song in The Muppets, too, Consuela. But it was so much fun anyway -- Sara absolutely loved it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
most of the voices were mostly right.
The voices were the major element that kept me from really loving the movie - without Henson and Oz, none of the main cast sound like themselves any more. There's a part of me deep down that views the post-Henson Kermit as an impostor, and I just can't suspend my disbelief fully enough to enjoy him. My Kermit died when Jim Henson did, and you will never convince my lizard brain otherwise.

I didn't have a hard time with Kermit, but Fozzie was really off to me a lot of the time.

Well, he does do it, but it's really offscreen. You see him lean down and come up with a bloody mouth. I've already encountered one adult who didn't realise what happened, because they started doing a C-section with a scalpel before they were interrupted, and they thought that was how it was actually done.
I'm still reeling at how bad the makeup is. The men where veritably spackled...I felt disturbed looking at the white (originally 'shite') paint buildup around Edward's nose. And the men who were wearing wigs all looked William-the-pre-bloody-bad, they didn't sparkle *once*! Not one time. However, the CGI when Bella loses weight as Renesmee eats her from the inside was pretty good, a level beyond what anyone else looks like, ever,

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
