It's not even that she looks soft and helpless to me: she looks awkward. Maybe it's the costuming, I dunno, but she looks out of sync with her own body.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

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.
I'm good with Ant-Man if the Wasp has a major part in it, because I love Jan on Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
If it's just Hank Pym shrinking and talking to ants, I don't have much interest (and if it's based on Ultimate Hank, I will run screaming in the other direction.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It doesn't make sense for her to look that way so much of the time, until she engages in combat (at which point she's sometimes suddenly much more physically composed--it's really quite remarkable). Is it an act, or her life? Like, why act now? What the fuck is that stance about? God, that's irritating. A whole movie with her as the only or 1/2 the lead? I'll be staying home, thanks. Or they can pull a Hulk and toss almost anyone else in there instead.

I don't understand not loving Hot Fuzz - I love it THAT MUCH.
Oh dog so much this!!! And while I had problems with how they introduced his Scotty in Trek, it wasn't the performance that bothered me. Put that one on JJ who deserves it for some of his other bone-headed resets going on in the movie. I'm glad Pegg didn't do a total Doohan revamp.
For some reason, having Bones be so spot on was more appropriate (bless Karl Urban).

Maybe I'll watch Hot Fuzz right now. Day improver!

Also, i love PAUL. But I somehow I'd missed Seth Rogen in every other thing he's ever done, so having his voice in there didn't throw me out of the movie in any way. It felt somewhat of a piece with SPACED, though a bit cruder.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
What the fuck is that stance about?
I think it's "I've hit my mark and I'm firing, but I can't see over the top of this car."

So Ultimate Drew is rewriting World War Z. I think this is the third re-write after they started shooting.
So.

I just read a summary of a report on vulture.com that said that Brad Pitt and the director were not on speaking terms.
And.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
