Bummer. The GF suggested going to see This Means War this weekend for our date night, but the reviews are pretty universally awful.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My reasons for seeing the movie cannot be affected by critical acclaim. This is all about me and my needs. I want Tom Hardy to have the best reviews ever, but this is not about him. I knew from the production stills and stolen snaps during filming that it was dubious at best.
Yet, T-Hard shoots people and kisses people and hits people. I just bought tickets for me and Polgara.

Please let me know how it goes, ita.
The trailer made it seem like a lot of fun, the reviews not so much. Since I don't have the same eye-candy tastes you do(and find the Witherspoon a neutral value) fun is the only angle of interest for me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Also, you should come back down here for a visit sometime!
I keep trying to. I remember my 4 years at UNC very, very fondly. Maybe once Hubs's retirement is settled.

10 things IO9 doesn't think the Hunger Games movies can pull off. Needless to say, incredibly and inherently spoilery.
I think the big one is violence, and the second one is keeping Katniss sympathetic.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha ha ha, that list is basically everything.

I was greatly relieved that Buttercup survived the series. Kill who you like, but save the cat .

move out and draw fire
Saw The Woman In Black. There are like 7 production companies involved, so I'm amused that Hammer gets the logo and the top billing, but it really is a Hammer flick. With a much improved production quality, and no cleavage.
And they got me - I think every "gotcha" moment but one, I had a physical reaction.

Because books.
This weekend is going to be so busy, but I want to see that so much. It's pretty much tailor-made for me.
