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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
OHMYGOD. I saw the 9 trailer the other day and I (a) had not heard of it until that moment and (b) had to be restrained from busting through the screen and into the fictional world. Which, you know, might have pissed off the other people who needed that screen to see Trek for the umpty-eleventh time.

move out and draw fire
You know what I want Pixar to make? Finding Nemo 2. Where Nemo grows up to be a girl.
(billytea may have to back me on this, but I'm pretty sure all clown fish are born male and some of them become female).

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Where Nemo grows up to be a girl.
Didn't someone link to fic about this at one point?

Also, total size queens.
Each group of fish consists of a breeding pair and 0-4 non-breeders. Within each group there is a size-based hierarchy: the female is largest, the breeding male is second largest, and the male non-breeders get progressively smaller as the hierarchy descends.[6] They exhibit protandry, meaning each fish is born male, but will only change to female if the sole breeding female dies. If the female dies, the breeding male changes sex, becomes the breeding female and the largest non-breeder becomes the breeding male.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
There's a user review for 9 on IMDB, and it isn't very flattering.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hee. Zach Oat breaks down the Pixar formula.
Speaking of which, I went to the AMC Bay theater in Emeryville (next doorish to Pixar) and when I was getting tickets for Star Trek they had an option for UP!
I think they must've been showing a preview. I was tempted to ditch the Trek.
But we saw Star Trek and Emmett thought it was very cool. He's never seen the show.
