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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I have a hard time paying attention to the trailer because I love that Peter Gabriel cover so much.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It was really creepy. And not in a good vampire way.

That pretty much sums up my reaction to Edward.

In discussion of "Snow White and the Huntsman" a lot of discussion of Theron being prettier than Snow White. And I remember that when I was taken to see the Disney version at age 11, I said going out of the theater "You know, I think the Witch Queen would be a lot more interesting to spend time with than Snow White. Only I'd want to do all the cooking."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know I'm overly pedantic (uh huh), but when they're reciting the skin/snow, lips/blood thing, why in fuck cut to pink-lipped Kristen? I know she's badass battle ninja Snow White, but LIPS RED BLOOD. It's right there in the premise. It would be like the Winchester brothers killing things, but not saving people.

Also, yeah, I don't think she's prettier than Charlize. They don't say she's currently prettier, but that she will be. I hope that's their out.

Shame--Theron and Helmsworth look like they could be an interesting duo. It would be too much work to psychically replace Kristen with Kat Dennings (in an epic sports bra) for the whole thing, so I'll wait until Netflix.

Okay, I know it's prevalent to say "Movie Holmes, whatever! The one true re-interpretation is the BBC version." However, have a look at the second picture down. Can you really beat that Mycroft?

Because books.

He was born to play Mycroft.

Is the guy next to him supposed to be Prince Albert? Because if so, he looks perfect.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Can you really beat that Mycroft?

I don't want to chose! (I'm very excited about him as Mycroft, though.)

(But can't I have both?)

I'm also pleased with their choice for Moriarity.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Damn, I can't wait for this movie to open.

I checked with fandom, and no. You have to be a plebe or a sophisticate, but you can't be both. Pick a side, stat.
