Only two original songs? And, listening to the Rio one, I am deeply underwhelmed.
Danger's my birthright.

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.

My first reaction to the Oscar noms is Kung Fu Panda 2? I'd never have guessed.
It was surprisingly beautiful. Visually. The story was basically what you'd expect.

"Transformers: Dark of the Moon" got a sound editing nom? How much artistry can there be in the continuous roar of explosions for 90 minutes? (Full disclosure: I haven't seen the movie, but having seen one playing in the theater next to it I feel qualified to be judgmental.)

Wrod. They do wonderful things with the various styles of animation. I meant to go see it again just so I could marvel at the lushness and realism of what they did. They used traditional 2D Saturday morning style animation for flashback sequences, and when they went back to the standard 3D version, the sheer difference made me think I was looking at photography for several minutes.

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

It's next up in my Netflix queue, so I will LISTEN.
Also, the goddamn thing is 154 minutes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Effie Trinket's look has really grown on me. Plus that's s great character name.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's a pretty sweet Tumblr. I'll be rooting for the Capitol in a second.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, it's so seductive.

Two and a half hours of indistinguishable robots fighting and Shia Lebeouf? Doesn't that violate the Geneva Convention?
