I don't know why, but this struck me as incredibly funny: [link]
The Sleipnir jokes are great, too.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Celeborn!
I did. I got that reference.

hwæt
do I need to watch Iron Man 2?
There are some individual scenes that are good, but they don’t add up to a whole great movie.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
We went into the city today, saw a very interesting exhibition on various media. They had a sequence of video clips from maybe two dozen movies, all featuring the Wilhelm scream. Really quite neat. (A whole bunch of Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and in the middle of it all, Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, how gorgeous are these Avengers sculpts: [link] ?

I haven't seen one yet that wasn't amazing.

Thrive to spite them
Watching Haywire with Will. So far this is dull and the problem is not the acting. I think my biggest problem is the pacing and the wired multiple flashback storytelling.

I feel that the first scene sapped any "whee! movie's starting!" momentum I might have had--it's a great fight scene, especially where a woman is involved.
I don't know if it was my Tatum issue or what, but I don't think it was doing anyone justice.
But the flashbacks didn't really bother me. In fact, I can't even remember them when I try and think about it.
One thing I will say for Carano above and beyond her obvious mad fighting skills--she runs really well. It's somehow bad-assed and efficient and gives me the sense that she could outlast her prey or her pursuers.

Thrive to spite them
The whole thing is in flashback with her telling some guy in a car. The guy who helped herin the cafe. I think the whole stule of the movie is too lowkey and quiet for me. It's barely holding my attemtion and I want more fight scenes.

Ah, okay. Those were sufficiently narratively framed that I clearly didn't give it a second thought.
