Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
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.
Suzi is, apparently, me.
Oh. BEAR bear.Makes me instantly think of this:
Katara: The King is throwing a party at the palace tonight for his pet bear.
Aang: Don't you mean platypus bear? Katara: No, it just says, 'bear'.
Sokka: Certainly you mean his pet skunk bear?
Toph: Or his armadillo bear?
Aang: Gopher bear?
Katara: Just, 'bear'.
(short pause)
Toph: This place is weird
I had to read that twice to see if you were in SF or somewhere else to make sure which mental image I should have of a bear cub.
Bwah! It was probably about 20 lbs. or so, very cute, and when the handler let me touch it the fur was so thick and coarse it felt like the bristles on those shoe brushes. Also, it wasn't too particular about where it peed (including on itself), which handily eliminated any longing I might have felt for one as a pet even if I didn't know they grow to upwards of half a ton and occasionally eat people.
Wow. IO9 is pretty negative about The Devil Inside, especially if you read how they describe the ending. I'd be pissed too.
What the hell kind of ending is that?
The kind I wish the filmmakers had been very visibly present for at the premiere...
Is that ending code for "we ran out of money"?
If you've ever seen an exorcism movie in your life, you know that the whole point is that the demons always jump into the exorcists. Again, there's a potentially creative twist here, since Maria is inhabited by four demons and we've got four protagonists (Isabella, the two exorcists, and the filmmaker).
And then it's Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice...and SATAN!
Tim Burton and Robert Downey Jr. may team up for Bryan Fuller’s Pinocchio: [link]
I wasn't paying attention to Chronicle, and suddenly I can't take my eyes off the trailer. I wonder if my interest will grow or wane between now and opening, but right now I like the angle on suddenly powered teenagers.
We saw Sherlock Holmes tonight, and I did like it, definitely. Except...I think Benedict Cumberbatch has ruined me for all other Sherlocks. All I could keep thinking was one of the 3 following things: (1) "BBC Sherlock doesn't punch people this much!" (2) "Actually, he's kind of 19th-century Tony Stark," and (3) "Seriously, Veronica Mars could have figured out this nefarious plot -- aren't you supposed to be the world's greatest detective?"
That said, I really did like it. Although I never need to see Stephen Fry naked ever again. (I'd hate to spoil that singular experience for people who are waiting for the DVD.)
