Ugh, it's so seductive.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There is *one* reason this movie is on my to-watch list, and this is pretty much it. Jaysus.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's about fucking time:
James Cameron Wants to Blow Your Mind With 60 Frames Per Second
Shooting in 3-D might get you an occasional holy-crap moment, but if you really want to blow an audience’s mind, increase your frame rate. Movies shot and projected faster than the standard 24 frames per second—at, say, 48 or 60 fps—have startling clarity and emotional impact. Even better, the strobing you sometimes get with 3-D (filmmakers call it the judders) vanishes at 48 fps and up.
Who cares? Peter Jackson and James Cameron. Jackson is shooting The Hobbit in 3-D at 48 fps with high-end digital cameras—no more film for him. And Cameron is leaning toward 60 fps for his Avatar sequels. Cameron says that when he screened test footage for theater owners, “you could literally hear a gasp from the audience when they were shown the difference between 24-frame and 48 frames. And they liked 60 frames even better.”
I hate it in movies when the camera pans around and I see the flickering as a result. (At 24 fps, the difference between frames from the pan causes the flicker.)
I think currently moveis are projected at 48 fps, but still shot at 24 fps. (eta: each frame is shown twice.) TV, btw, is 30 fps. Or sometimes 29.9 something fps.
eta²: Cool fact: octopi's vison is so good they apparently don't recognize 24 or 30 fps as showing movement--they just see the flickering, individual frames. But they recognize 60 fps as showing movement.

The trailers for that look make it look like a lot of fun, although Reese doesn't look like she has much to do.

Call me a bad feminist, but...I ain't mad about that. As long as she does what she has to do well. But I am all about the (inevitable, one true) interpretation that she's just a proxy for the guys' feelings for each other.

I never see shit like that. I think I have slow eyes.

A White Collar vibe would be fun, but I'm with you. I predict (I hope) a lot of fic.
