Xander ,'First Date'
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 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.
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.
Ha ha ha, that list is basically everything.
My favorite thing on the list is Buttercup ! haha yup
I was greatly relieved that Buttercup survived the series. Kill who you like, but save the cat .
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.
This weekend is going to be so busy, but I want to see that so much. It's pretty much tailor-made for me.

When the Hammer logo came up on screen, I may have whooped and thrown the horns with both hands. Hypothetically. To the amusement of my friends.
With a much improved production quality, and no cleavage.
It was everything I was hoping for, in terms of production quality. (I am not the target audience for the cleavage.) I need them to make a vampire movie with that production quality. RIGHT NOW.
And they got me - I think every "gotcha" moment but one, I had a physical reaction.
Considering how twitchy/sensitive I am about scares vs. gore, I was amazed that I wasn't jumping at every "gotcha". I think it was because I was too giddy with "OMG IT'S REALLY A HAMMER FILM!" glee.
