And, more importantly, Wall-E and Finding Nemo. He is my most favoritist Pixar director.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of Pixar (about whose movies I am neutral), IO9 showed some concept art from Brave, and I don't really care what the storyline is, I'll be there with tissues.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
IO9 showed some concept art from Brave,
Yeah, those were nice.

I could go for an edgier Peter Parker.
But that's the point that I'm making -- I didn't see anything remotely dark or edgy about it. As far as I could tell from the trailer alone, the only thing making this movie any darker or edgier than Raimi's films is that more scenes were shot at night.
That's not darker except in a strictly literal sense, and not at all edgier to me.

I am all over Brave: I'm so looking forward to it.
Funny thing: I'm going to be in Spain with my niece when The Hunger Games opens, and the niece is a complete squeeing fangirl over the books & the movie. Too bad it's unlikely to be opening in Spain at the same time, so we could see it together.

I am angry they changed the name from A Princess of Mars
Mostly because Disney's fIlm from last year, Mars Needs Moms, was such a bomb. Hollywood is nothing if not superstitious.

I do like the mental image of unwitting parents dropping their 5 to 10 year old girls off at the movie thinking it's going to be a Disney-type fantasy. 5 years down the line, Taylor Kitsch might be the next DiCaprio!

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

Are you sure? I figured it was because of the "Princess" in the title. Remember Tangled? IT WON'T APPEAL TO BOYS.

I agree with you there. I think there are some elements that have the potential to be a little darker, depending on how far they take the Spidey vs. the cops thing, but mostly it sure does seem to be a lot night scenes.

IMDb says 20th April, though funnily enough Spain, Italy and South Africa are the only countries getting it later than the week it opens everywhere else.

It may wind up being awesome. The trailer didn't do it for me (certainly not the way the Avengers trailer does), but trailers are terribly unreliable for judging a movie. Still, for now I have no need to see this one in the theater.
