It'll do fine overseas, just like Prince of Persia.
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

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.

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

I enjoyed Prince of Persia. Judge me as you will.

We're at our local performing arts theatre, which used to be an old movie theater seeing The General with Buster Keaton accompanied by a Wulitzer.

I just got back from John Carter and quite liked it. It didn't have benefit of a Queen soundtrack, but otherwise was pretty similar to Flash Gordon in being rollicking Pulp-y fun.
I think they went way overboard on the jumping SFX, but liked the look of most everything else and have no complaints about the performances. In fact Lynn Collins as Deja Thoris (now with added agency!) had a very Claudia Black-ish vibe to me.

It's intermission. We're having fun. The live music really adds a lot to the film. It does make me a little sad that the theatre is only half full.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I finally got around to seeing Winter's Bone, and basically wept through the entire last 1/3 of the movie, even though the movie never consciously set out to do any tear-jerking. I don't even know what to say. Jennifer Lawrence -- yowza.
