Card needs to die in a fire, preferably one fueled by piles of his his later sorry-ass novels.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

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.

DH and I saw Pacific Rim last night, and it was HUUUUUUUUGE.
There is more or less no plot. It's 2.5 straight hours of giant robots punching giant monsters in the face. And it was AWESOME.
Highly recommend seeing in IMAX 3D because, as I mentioned, there is basically no plot. I couldn't even tell you one of the characters' names. (There's Bland Ryan Gosling, Australian Bland Ryan Gosling, Australian Bland Ryan Gosling's Dad, Japanese Girl, Science Nerd Guy, British Science Nerd Guy, That Guy From That Other Movie, Ron Perlman, and Idris Elba.)
But Guillermo del Toro should be allowed to get his Michael Bay on more often, because he is REALLY good at it. My arms are sore from all the fist pumping I was doing when the giant robot punched the giant monster really hard.

Your review actually makes me want to see it, and I had no desire to before.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Because books.
Do you mean Charlie Hunnam is Bland Ryan Gosling (or Bland Australian Ryan Gosling)? He's too pretty to be bland! At least on Sons of Anarchy.

If he's the lead, he's Bland Ryan Gosling. (Even though he's apparently really Australian, he doesn't play one in this movie.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Did you get any swag?

Oh, I thought he was British. Well, he's lovely to look at so I'm sure I'll see it anyway.
