Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Saw SH2 today, and yeah, that was super-gay. I enjoyed it, but mostly because I find RDJ endlessly charming. I mostly can't stand Guy Ritchie's movies, but the Sherlock Holmes movies are exceptions.

Despite the good press, I just can't go see a Tom Cruise movie, though I will re-watch Minority Report now and again.

The TKDR trailer was awesome.

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

Oh, god, yes. Though I hope they do something about Bane's voice. I usually don't have problems with clarity, but he might take some paying attention to.

We also had the Hunger Games trailer, and I'm afraid I elbowed Polgara pretty hard when I worked out what it was. Also very exciting.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Aw, I was hoping we'd get that. I wanted to see it all big.

Yeah, I couldn't understand a thing he said, and that seems to be a universal reaction. Sounds like a trip to the ADR studio is in order. Or fancy-schmancy digital processing.

I understood him, but I felt like it was because I knew to pay attention to him because I'd heard he'd be hard to parse. I don't think I can (or want to) hold that up for an entire movie. You know, one with other people.

But he did look really cool.

Aw we didn't get the Hunger Games trailer.

Yeah, Bane was hard to understand. Something mumble mumble die mumble.

I do love a good football field implosion.

I didn't know I wanted that until I saw it, but now I'm convinced it should happen more often.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously.

I may have liked this Holmes movie more than the first one. IIRC, the first one basically made no sense at all at the end, right? Anyway, I definitely liked it, and definitely thought of Steph.
