Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I was gonna ask, isn't there a much older text for The Sorcerer's Apprentice? So I went and looked it up and yep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, obviously there were ridiculous things about This Means War (who goes to the club at 8pm?????), but overall, highly enjoyable!

Has anyone seen Tucker & Dale vs. Evil? So fricking funny! And Alan Tudyk!

Pete and I LOVED Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. I kind of want to do a double-feature of it and Evil Dead: Army of Darkness.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Beau and I saw the craziest movie this evening. Red, White, & Blue on Netflix streaming.

This film has a particular tone for the first half of the movie. Then bam! a dramatic shift in tone coupled with crazy-ass off the charts violence. I couldn't even believe it.

Hard to describe the movie fully without spoiling but let me talk about some parts of the first half:

We see a woman in sexual relations with several men (together, individually) in the first half of the movie. We see her in a budding romance with a different man who she did not sleep with. She seems to be having some financial problems, and so the narrative was a bit aimless.

Then the movie takes a dramatic turn and all hell breaks loose. I am not sure I would call the movie "good" - and it wasn't exactly "entertaining" either. It was more like watching a stylized episode of Criminal Minds or something.

anyone here seen it?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

ita !, Hunger Games seems to be encouraging people to make their own merchandise, if my reading comprehensions is up to par - [link]

I like this take on the Mockingjay/slogan - [link]

This one with logos of all the districts is pretty cool - [link]

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

Act of Valor was number one this weekend! Guess there will be an upsurge in Marine recruitment.

Number two was...Good Deeds? What the fuck is that? I have never heard of this movie at all. Ever. Is it a...yes, it's a Tyler Perry movie. How does he keep doing this? With, like, no marketing that I've seen? And when his movies apparently aren't even that good? I am kind of curious to actually watch one, much like I kind of want to watch a Uwe Boll movie to see what all the fuss is about.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The simple mockingjay pin with the logo is precisely what I was looking for--thanks, Smonster. I'm interested in Universal's thought process--given that a hefty bundle of profit comes from merchandising with a YA movie, they seem to be letting go of it. Facing the inevitable by pretending it was their idea all along? I dunno. I wonder if they can lose rights to the logo this way?

PC, I've seen half of a Tyler Perry movie (no Madea) because the rest of the cast looked awesome. Big mistake. Smug people acting out some of the worst of black American stereotypes, and being rewarded in the narrative for it. Horrible stuff.
