Sounds promising!
Yay! I'm starting to get really psyched to see the film. I like what he said about the complexity of Lawrence's portrayal -- it bodes well, as the movie is bound to sink or swim on the strength of her performance.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Has anyone here seen Chasing Papi? Three women, initially antagonistic, discovering they have the same boyfriend, demonstrate that all feisty Latinas are the same at the core?
Is that the one starring Eduardo Verastegui as the philandering guy? I think I saw part of it on cable a few years ago.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
In my high school, girls studied archery in PE in their junior or senior year, but they were apparently afraid us guys would shoot each or something.
Of course, considering some of the people in my gym class, I don't know that they were wrong.

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

Yes, and dear god--he's a god in this thing. It's like someone said "Victor Webster, but hot this time." Jesus.
However, the female leads, and that climax where they all dance to Sheila E (no, I'm not spoiler fonting that, there's a point at which it's either that or cook)? If someone had made that with West Indians I'd have gone ballistic.
But! Not my culture, so there could very well be stuff I'm missing.

Wow. Lauren Davis never fixed the typos in her article. Denton's on record saying they crowdsource correct. I get a twinge when the site I actually like keeps up stuff with errors. They can fix it and banish my post to the cornfield. That's what the #corrections tag is for.
Buck up, IO9!
God, I need a hobby.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am a little surprised they're making a sequel to that. I guess it was not received well critically, but did well enough at the box office.

I enjoyed the books. Didn't see the movie.
