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.

Sophia,
I think we are like spirits. I'm of the school that Scrappy Doo ruined Scooby forever. Sometimes Scooby-Doo had a decent balance between funny and investigation, but it got goofier over time and then fucking Scrappy.
I don't know what one small movie would have meant, or changed.
For me it would have indicated that he's capable of reining himself in. And that he had some practice with the kind of self-discipline that I think could only benefit a big production. Although just because one has self-discipline doesn't mean one always uses it.
That's all.

The Hobbit was animated by Topcraft, a now-defunct Japanese animation studio whose animation team would go on to re-form as Studio Ghibli alongside Hayao Miyazaki.

Same people who did The Last Unicorn!
For some reason (like a smoking hot photo shoot) I was reminded about the negativity surrounding Hathaway's casting as Catwoman.
Did many people come out feeling vindicated by their prediction of suck?
I thought her performance was excellent. A lot of it was in the writing - she had plenty to work with. But she carried it off with panache and some emotional consequence.

Are you implying that you are viewing a smoking hot photo shoot of Anne Hathaway? Because I would be interested in such a shoot.
