You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yep. Makes me want to poke my eyes out right now.
I'm with you and I didn't even watch the preview. As a child I found The Three Stooges unbearable.

I have to admit, the Titanic one is what I want context for the most. "Leo, out of the pool! Kate, into the pool!"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The languorous Colin Firth holding a cigarette to the other actress' lips? Sexy, sexy picture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is it just me, or is it a little weird that they are advertising the new RDJr Sherlock Holmes movie as just "Sherlock Holmes"? I mean, wasn't that the name of the last one?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The ad I just saw advertised it as Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows. Where are you seeing them not name the movie?

On the TV ads -- maybe the text is on the screen, but I have not heard a voiceover saying "A Game of Shadows."

I don't think it's particularly weird that they're leading with the name of the lead character when the lead character is so iconic. I'm sure most people don't know the name of the upcoming Batman movie--it's just that it's Batman, you know?
I think it's more that than the name of the first movie.
