I have not seen the Spiderwick Chronicles and have a chance to so. Worth seeing?
The plot is a little average, but the effects and the look of the movie are beautiful.

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.
That's probably why Fury felt the need to be a manipulative bastard with the bloody trading cards: to get an emotional hook in Rogers. Thor's hook was already there; this is his brother. Banner didn't go all in for Coulson's sake; it's not clear when he even found out Coulson was murdered. Rogers and probably Fury had written Banner out of the plan. Banner went all in because Tony believed in him. Ah, the Power of Friendship(tm).
Yes, this. Though Thor also interacted with him quite a bit in his own movie. "Son of Coul".

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Has anyone gone to the Avengers this weekend? Was it mobbed or just normal-movie busy? (i.e., if I'm planning on trying to get Matilda and myself to a matinee tomorrow or Monday, should we aim to be there way early or buy tickets online, or just breeze on up to the box office a few minutes before it starts like any normal movie?)

I don't think there's been much promotion about it being back in the theaters. I was out with a bunch of friends on Friday night, all geeks or geek-adjacent and none of them had heard it was back in theaters this weekend.

It is only in one of our local theaters. I would have expected more.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Saw Premium Rush last night and it was, as people have said, a lot of fun. It's not high art or anything, and it has a better cast than a movie of this caliber should have, but that's to its benefit. But I really didn't like the score. I guess he was trying to go for some sort of "fun nineties rock excitement" sound, but it didn't really work for me. I wanted something more pulse-pounding and action-y.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Really? I thought it was really disappointing. It didn't play to JGL's strengths (other than his quads...), the stuntwork was weird and obvious, there were no character arcs, and the resolution of the primary conflict was anti-climactic as all get out.
Basically, if you don't like bicycle chases, there isn't that much other than that.

Watching FX. How is it the movie "Knowing" got made?

Really?
Indeed! It totally played to his strength of being adorable! But, I am a biker so the bike stuff was fun for me. Although, if I saw someone doing the things he did in real life it would make me have to yell at them!
