I just assumed that the trick arrows had mechanisms too big to put in a bullet, or that would be damaged by being fired out of a gun.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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.
They're always rope or foam or something...in comics the hero's usually not shooting to kill, unless it's Frank Castle, or summat. So gun's aren't a straight swap.
Watching parts of the Planet Of The Apes movie, and I dig where it ended--I thought the apes went on much more of a rampage than they actually did--that was just a damaging escape, pretty much. Is there an estimate of how many uplifted primates that was?
Do they cover the distinction between intelligence and knowledge? I mean--I wouldn't have been able to break myself out of that place, so I'm assuming they got boosted past an IQ of 100--as noted, I came in late. I can see how some of them had an opportunity to learn, because they'd been exposed to the drug for a while, but when Caesar dosed all his pen pals and they rampage to set the other experimental subjects free, they seem to move with an informed purpose I don't understand when or where they had a chance to acquire.
I did find it very not uncanny valley--the intelligent apes were distinct by posture and eyes before much was done, but it felt reasonably visually plausible. Props to the FX and Serkis and his co-apes.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
With the powers of DVR, I am watching Shutter Island (I'll get over this new-fangled contraption soonish) and, when Leo finds the kids in the lake I lost it. More than when I first saw it.
Still love the ambience of the whole movie. Still have no clue how all the stories hold up, but I still love it.

Yes, yes we did. It's been a long time coming, though. There were photos from filming ages ago.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Looks goofy but with a potential to be charming if it's handled with appropriate amount of froth. The supporting cast is pretty awesome.
Another new trailer I came across earlier today: [link]
It's a new film by Park Chan Wook, with a plot that looks like it may be a remake / reinvention of Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt. I love the Hitchcock (Joseph Cotten is amaaaazing as the creepy uncle Charlie) and this looks like it could be brilliant. Except in my limited sampling of Park's work, I found I had little stomach for his particular combination of brutality and nihilism, so I'm wary.
