'Safe'
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.
I'll put TPM back into viewing rotation when someone has created an edit which removes all of the thinly veiled racist stereotypes. Cutting out Jar-Jar barely scratches the surface.
Didn't the Phantom Edit do that by making the Trade Federation and Gungans speak their own subtitled language? Or at least, that helped with the worst of it.
That's just asking for trouble that is.
Indeed. Still beats finding there's a kid in childcare called Jar Jar.
I'm totally following the Machete order with Calvin, when he gets to Star Wars age.
New Avengers trailer!! I can't wait to see all these superheroes beat the shit out of each other.
I'm sure the heroes will beat the shit out of each other in one briefly curtailed misunderstanding, and then more extensively in training.
At least I hope that's how it goes down, not the Avengers meets the X-Men standard story EVERY TIME.
However, that's fucking exciting, and maybe it deserves me buying an Iron Man t-shirt instead of recycling the Captain America...
I did end up getting a black Hunger Games pin and motto shirt, so I'm psyched as all get out for that.
New Avengers trailer!!
Um...
Wow.
So, does it look like this is it for Joss? The moment where he makes it from a repeated cult success into mainstream viability? How do you think this will affect his future projects--both his choices and his funding?
I don't have much in the way of coherent thought right now, so I don't have any response other than "Please???"

Yeah, it's hard to tell from the trailer whether any of those fights are training exercises or something.
Um...
Wow.
This is the first trailer that made me confident there's, like, a movie about characters with a story in there in addition to all the cool shit blowing up. Excitement!

He's got some other movie in the works, In Your Eyes, that I don't know much about, but it looks like he's able to do things that he wants. I wonder if he'll come back to TV, at this point.
There's been a pretty huge buzz for The Avengers outside of the usual Whedon fan-base, right?
I kind of don't want to get my hopes up regarding potential increased awesomeness of Joss's career, but things look promising.

I can see the average man in the street wondering that, but did you not figure, with experience of Whedon, that this was really very likely?
