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.
Regarding the white font, it sounds like they were going for a metaphor. I think it's nearly universal that teenagers think their family is weird and wish they were normal.
That said, the Addams Family was probably the wrong property to do that story with.
Anybody who's seen Skyfall - is it worth it to see in IMAX?
I would say no. but I thought the movie was just okay. The best "stunts" in the movie are in the first 10-15 minutes. after that, I'm not sure I'd notice if it were in IMAX or not.
Anybody who's seen Skyfall - is it worth it to see in IMAX?
I didn't think it was necessary to see in IMAX, unlike The Dark Knight Rises which absolutely benefits from IMAX.
I wanted to see "Killing Them Softly" this weekend, but it got an "F" in cinemascore. DAMN.
As a point of comparison, here are last year's scores. [link]
Given my tastes, just about anything below a C+ isn't worth seeing in the theater (and may not be worth seeing at all). Critics generally seem to like it, but the general population does NOT.
Anyone see it?
Transformers: Dark of the Moon: "A"
What.
Hanna: "C+" ("A" with audiences under 18, "D+" with audiences over 50)
Huh.
It seemed okay from the trailers, but I like Brad Pitt in general.
Me too! I can't quite understand the "F"
Saw Lincoln tonight and really liked it. SO well written. millions of supporting characters, and I found them all wonderfully drawn and real. I found it tremendously involving and moving.

Filmed in New Orleans! t /reflexive shoutout Doubt I'll see it, myself - sounds like too much violence.
Rotten Tomatoes gives it 79% critics, 65% audience. [link]
So, I've definitely seen a Bond movie now -- saw Skyfall with prodigal Buffista Ellen!
