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.

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.

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.

Somebody put together an Avengers super trailer using footage from all the trailers so far and few bits from the previous movies. Aside from a couple hitches, it's pretty impressive: [link]

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Just got in from seeing The Woman in Black myself. It has enough atmosphere for four or five movies! Wonderfully creepy and suspenseful tone, beautifully shot in almost every frame. And Radcliffe has grown up to be quite the good actor.

I made the right choice taking advantage of my one evening off and seeing this one rather than the telekinetic kids movie or Channing Tatum Takes His Shirt Off Yet Again.

Totally. It was such a Hammer Film. I squeed at the logo also, and we tried to make some Harry Potter jokes (like when he's shown coming out of the room under the stairs: "He thought that was the bedroom."). But then we were all just caught up inthe atmosphere.

And of course I want Eel Marsh House, but that may be because then I wouldn't have to duster vacuum.

Joss talking about Cabin in the Woods.

I really want to see Woman in Black. It just sounds like scary fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, Wesley Morris in the Boston Globe REALLY hated This Means War. I'll still probably see it, but I love his last paragraph:

Whatever’s happening with women and romance at the moment is worrying. Rachel McAdams spends “The Vow’’ trapped in a post-adolescent self, with no memory of the woman she was before a car accident. “One for the Money’’ turns Janet Evanovich’s tough, eccentric bounty hunter into Katherine Heigl. Kristen Stewart spent four “Twilight’’ movies pleading for a vampire to make love to her; when he does, she almost dies giving birth to their demon-child. On “30 Rock,’’ Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon is now so pitifully addicted to the approval of Jack Donaghy that she no longer knows what she wants in a relationship. This version of Witherspoon might be the most dismaying of all since she’s not even a woman. She’s a place to plant a flag. It’s hard to see her in this movie, say, enjoying a private dance to Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It’’ while Pine and Hardy secretly watch her from inside her house, and not feel vengeful. This really should mean war.
