Buffy ,'Chosen'
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.
So Michael Arndt isn't just writing the next Star Wars film, he's set out a three film treatment.
Since there are talks about bringing back original cast members to reprise their roles, I presume it won't be too far in the future after Return of the Jedi.
Neil Finn has written a song for The Hobbit.
This looks like a great idea for a franchise: [link]
Though I might be stretching the definition of "idea" there.
And now you can stream the Hobbit soundtrack.

But...but...but... the various novels in the Expanded Universe have been officially crowned canon by Lucas! This would... mess that up.
Once I would really have cared about this. Once, the Expanded Universe was consistent and awesome. That started to fall apart about the time I stopped paying attention (right after The Phantom Menace removed any joy from the universe for me) so it's probably really awful now, but in my brain the expanded universe - especially the Thrawn trilogy - IS what happens after ROTJ.
Just so no one else has to do it, I'm taking the b.org bullet and seeing the last Twilight movie. It has been an odd tradition with K-Bug but this is the most disturbed viewing yet. Our audience is almost half my age or older. And they are giddy. I'm here for the mockIng fodder. I need to go hit the bar that is in the theater lobby but I don't want to pay their crazy prices.
I don't think I'm violating FERPA or HIPAA if I say that I have knowledge of a certain imperial personage who is also seeing the Deluded Fairies movie.
And I'm home. Oh my. Ummm...there were a lot of laugh points that I don't think were supposed to be laugh points. It was nice to see KStew and RPatz, sorry, Bella and Edward smile instead of all the angsting . Some of the CGI was pretty painful though.
When I first read that, I got the impression you were saying that they had to use CGI to get Bella and Edward to smile. (For the record, I pictured something along the lines of the Quiznos spong monkeys. Silly, I know. They're totally Team Jacob.)
I just finished watching Crash. I had no idea that the total population of Los Angeles was approximately twenty people.

Also? When it rains there, it rains anvils.
