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.

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

A strong contender for the greatest movie trailer of all time (NSFW)

Chock-full of WTF-ery.

Dear Hollywood, please stop making movie trailers. Why? The art of the preview was perfected 29 years ago in The Philippines by the 1983 horror movie The Killing of Satan. Does The Killing of Satan also win the best title of all time contest? I wouldn't bet against it.

In TKOS, a mustachioed Catholic wizard named Lando tracks down Satan (who frequently appears in red tights) to, natch, kill him. The trailer is uncut magic, as it provides select snippets of Lando's adventure with absolutely no context. The audience is left so confused and titillated they have no choice but to see the film.

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

Look closely at the picture. I think the caption helps too.

I think I had the right thing the first time, then, and I can't remember the second thing.

Waivers don't really cover much when you can't legally consent to assault

Isn't a dojo consenting assault? I mean, paying for the privilege of getting your nuts kicked in, pretty much?

Sports/martial arts are different because there are (putatively) rules/regulations/governing bodies/referees/etc. It seems like a minor difference, but apparently it's enough. (The "what about BOXING?" question is one of the first ones I asked w/r/t the legality of punching your loved one in the ass and whatnot.)

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

Krav doesn't have rules. Contracts. No rules, no regulations, no governing bodies. I'm not sure what would constitute a referee--I mean, we have teachers, but when I took capoeira, there wasn't even really that.

I can't see how a jury would find in your favour, but I guess I've been involved in some Fight Club kind of shit. That and the Shocknife.

I can see how the first rule of Shocknife would be Do Not Talk About Shocknife. Because that way the newbies have no idea what to expect.

GOD THAT WAS SO MUCH FUCKING FUN. Yeah, it did involve shocking myself first every time, but it was entirely worth it. The not right part is that B's angle was "Sure, I'm tough, I can handle it" (he was the only one that stood up through being tazed--I wanted to be tazed, but they wouldn't let me) "but watch *the chick* shock herself."

Okay, maybe that's not the only not right part.

But, despite his tough-man tazing, he was entirely not willing to get shocked on a weekly basis, but loved watching other people go under.

Then again, he kept his S&M kit in his trunk at all times.

Weirdo.

The Hunger Games - Hamburger Helper Trailer.

I am dead. Oh my God. (Er, also, spoilers? Although I don't know anyone here who's interested in the movie without having read the book.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My memory was that the outfit Katniss is wearing isn't a dress, it's a pants suit. But still, looks about right to me. I of course pictured her in something more Emma Peel, but then again, I think most pants suits should be a bit more Emma Peel.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

P-C, I was thinking of the wedding dress that lights on fire when she spins . (spoiler from... book 2 or 3, can't remember)

I can whitefont that, right?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Burrell, your recollection is the same as mine. I pictured a unitard/bodysuit.
