I just read a plot synopsis of City of Bones, and I'll never get those ten minutes back.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DH and I watched Now You See Me last night because it was there and we were in the mood for a heist movie.
I feel like this movie should have come with an asterisk and a warning label that said "Note: contains no actual heists. May induce drowsiness."
Other than the one very brief and disappointing car chase, I think literally every other scene in the movie was just people standing around talking about the plot. Maybe 10% of this movie was the plot actually happening, vs 90% standing around talking about it. Good lord, what a waste.

I really want to see "In a World..." this weekend. Maybe tomorrow night...

But did you see ME? (You didn't see me. It was a big crowd scene. But I'm a few rows behind the French guy they zoom in on)

Aw man! I wish I'd known to look!

I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD so I can watch Kevin Zegers' part in GIFs on Tumblr.

Some day I'll have to watch it and find myself. I'm also in S3 of Treme, in theory. As are my dog and my car. Much cooler, IMHO, and definitely a better experience.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Saw World's End. I think I enjoyed it more than my sister, but she admits there were very funny and clever bits. And we did yell the "What the fuck does WTF mean?" "What the fuck just happened?" "Oh, what the fuck!" dialogue to each other, so there.
Not that I can quote much, but I think the style of Pegg's character's oratory might be contagious. And I love to pieces Nick Frost. I don't know if that will ever go away.
...just one Cornetto, give it to me...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I love to pieces Nick Frost.
I left the theater believing that he should have been cast as Bane.

Saw World's End.
Best use of the opening of "This Corrosion" ever. I'm going to have to see the movie again so I can find out what the dialog after that was, because I was cackling too hard to hear it.
