'Shindig'
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.
The TKDR trailer was awesome.
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.
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.
Right???
Totally!
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.
I thought the first one was more mysterious, and had the benefit of being surprisingly funny and exciting, whereas with this one, a bar had already been set.
So I get when people are wondering where the sort of genius Holmes they're used to has gone, because this Holmes doesn't really demonstrate much long game (not that he's dumb--just that all the brilliance is about things happening in the short term).
However, I do adore the competence of Watson, both physically and mentally. I will always sideeye people who defend the Rathbone Holmes *too* much, just because he was such a buffoon.
Also! Stephen Fry! (Whose character apparently needs to have the benefits of heterosexuality explained to him, despite also being a genius)
