I had decided that if Paula Patton was a decent action hero in her clips, I might give it a Netflix go, but the one fight scene I saw was laughable. I'll see Pegg in other stuff.

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.

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

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
OK, I was just clicking on links on IMDb and... they are doing a Bourne movie without Jason Bourne? I don't even know how that will work!
It's got good people attached to it (including Joan Allen returning as Pam Landy! LOVED her) but the whole thing just strikes me as bizarre.

I guess they might go with the organisations that produced/chased him? Is whatsisname still doing action roles?
I watched the making of of The Adjustment Bureau, and they talked about all the training Blunt went through in order to be halfway convincing as a dancer. I don't know shit about dancing, so I can't gauge her success, and they did use doubles for some of it, but she said it was gruelling. Am I just that clueless or did they train her to be a better dancer than the fight choreographers made a fighter of Paula Patton?
(Obviously one of these is my bugaboo, and the other I am innocent as all hell...)

So I ordered a bunch of DVDs for my class from a Korean vendor on eBay. I've done this before and had nothing but good experiences so far, and it's the only way to get some pretty rare films at a reasonable price.
Unfortunately this time I ordered "Zero de Conduite" and received "Germany Year Zero". Now the seller is insisting that they are the same movie. Oh dear....

Did we know that Roland Emmerich is filming a version of Isaac Asimov's Foundation? Saddest news I've heard all day.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I can still enjoy watching Cruise in Inteview with the Vampire but perhaps it's that the role of a vain, predatory monster that's desperate to maintain relevance to changing times by latching on to his younger victims and building a pseudo-family with them doesn't conflict that much with my off-camera impression of him.

I do now. Meh. Would that this were a reality (see the next two comics for a continuation): [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
AV Club agrees with Jessica, raves about Mission Impossible (mostly about how awesome Brad Bird can direct an action scene) and is meh about Sherlock Holmes.
Guess I'll go see Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
