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

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"?

move out and draw fire

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!

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

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

And we got crappy trailers, except for Dark Knight Verbs and Men in Black, which I totally forgot was coming out, so that gave me a happy. But then we got some horrific-looking musical about the '80s, which...just NO. And a trailer for Battleship: The Movie. I almost peed myself when I realized that's what it was.

I eagerly await Jenga: The Movie: This Time It's Geometrical!

Oh come on. You'd go see a Tetris movie.

I said Tetris on FB, didn't I? I can't keep my geometrically based games straight!
