Jonathan ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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 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.

My Hunger Games name is Yarrow Abernuckle.

We are at the movies to see The Artist.
I have a piece about The Artist and Hugo up at a British film blog, to which I'll be contributing occasionally:
(And I'd just like to point out that the picture captions are not by me).
We're at our local performing arts theatre, which used to be an old movie theater seeing The General with Buster Keaton
Oh, that is one of my most favorite movies! So fun and inventive and adorbs.
I wish I had the stamina for this. I actually haven't seen one of those. Well, okay, two.
Ooh, that sounds like fun times.

Damn, I would so go to that if it was anywhere near me. Bummer.
