So who all has seen the Lego movie trailer? [link]
I shall be seeing it.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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.
How am I not going to cry all the way through this [link] ?

ita, I think that's an ugly-crying movie, much like this was for me, which I watched because it was expiring from Netflix Instant and I was not emotionally prepared.

Jesus Christ, there's no ending that fixes that.

Nope! Some movies are just going to leave you in a wet puddle of misery and rage.

Because books.
But there are also pure feel-good movies! The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is my new favorite in that category.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love the term ugly-crying movie. For me, that was Wit. Seriously, it was almost unbearable.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, man, Wit was rough.

I think I cried for 3/4 of that. So there's a slave ship, right? Well, at some point in the story, some slaves try to escape off the ship during the transit, and their escape plan? Swim east. I broke down there and never unbroke up.
