There is no reason to have seen the first Judge Dredd movie, and having seen the first Total Recall, I have no idea what people are being so protective of. Why shouldn't someone get to make a good (or just cool) movie with that premise? Tcha.
This must be what going mad feels like.

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.

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

When does the Bourne Legacy open? That's the only other movie this summer I'm really excited about.
Um, except for Beasts of the Southern Wild, which I'm going to try to see this week.

When does the Bourne Legacy open?
August...something. Maybe 20th? No, 10th.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
it was supposed to open on the 3rd and they pushed it back a week to up my anticipation for my Renner fix, i suspect.
a friend and i were just discussing the Total Recall original. i don't think i've seen the whole movie. bits and pieces, sure, but not the whole thing.
i'm also not a huge Bourne movie fan, but that probably stems from my dislike of Matt Damon. i've seen them, but i wasn't excited about them. Legacy can't come soon enough though!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, ita, I'm not being clear--I meant a good-natured kinda trash-talking-for-comic-effect thing, not a real argument. Clearly my original post came off as much more serious than I meant it--and on rereading it, I can see why. I needed more hyperbole.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the ads for Bourne Legacy has sucked any excitement I had for the movie right the fuck out. I was ready to see that opening night with the BIG drink. But I need to read reviews now.
I fear the movie sucketh.

I love you,Teppy...

I'm looking forward to ParaNorman and The Apparition in August.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Um, except for Beasts of the Southern Wild, which I'm going to try to see this week.
Consuela, I saw that over the weekend and loved it. The little girl who plays the main character is amazing.
