I prefer my characters who don't understand how the world works to come in Misha Collins-shaped packages.
Knocked off work early to take in my 4th viewing of The Avengers. Still fun.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

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.

Hey. New board.
I thought Hanna was great. The bad-ass parts were fun and the slow, making-a-friend parts were strangely believable and did a great job of capturing awkward adolescence. For me, it proved that the praise given to Saoirse Ronan after Atonement wasn't a one-time fluke thing based on the movie itself, and she is completely the real deal.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I haven't seen Hanna, but i suspect that role is why she was cast in The Host.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, don't compare it to Run Lola Run. I did not like that.
However, I think maybe liking Cate Blanchett being OTT is what tips it over? I loved Hanna, and everything she did except for the electricity shit and working out the internet in 30 seconds. I liked her father, I liked the girl she met on her travels and her parents (not so much the brother), I enjoyed Cate, and for a little while I liked the requisite deviant pervy thug.
There's most of the movie right there. Unlike Haywire, the bits inbetween the fight scenes weren't soporific. Not to me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Signed, Still Irritated by a recent Staged Dracula referring to Harker's "dime store cross"...because really, what's a "dime" in Victorian England?
I'm reading Hound of the Baskervilles, and a character just referred to feeling like he was in a "dime novel."

re: Hound--Watson is assumed to have spent a lot of time in America, is he the one who refers to the dime novel?

No, it's one of the folk from Devonshire.

Isn't that like the
scientist in
S2 BBC Sherlock's version of the Hound
saying "cell phone"
instead of
whatever the Britishism is -- "mobile," I guess?
That was one of the clues that made Sherlock realize
he had spent a not-inconsiderable amount of time in America, where the Scarecrow fear toxin
was developed.
