Okay, I've posted a longform rant in LJ and I feel better now.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Let me say why, even after reading the whitefont, I am excited about Watchmen - I've never read it and have no expectations. This is why I tend to not read graphic novels of stuff they are making movies out of - I am a purist when it comes to book-to-screen translations and lose my enjoyment if I have read the material. Particularly with comic book and fantasy movies. I love them. LOVE them.
However, goddess help me if Joe's disappointed. I may have to move out until he's over it.

I'm going into it assuming that nothing can be as cringe-worthily bad as Spider-Man 3.
(The symbiote never made Peter Parker into a piano-playing, bad-dancing, watch-from-the-hall-worthy lounge lizard.)
(Ahem.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Just say, "Here's a case of vodka. I'll be back in a few days."

Sounds like a challenge to me!

I know we have some fans here, so I'll note this find: a blog devoted to reviewing classic caper films.
