It didn't pique my interest until I heard Lauda's name in a trailer. I've heard of him. I've not heard of Hunt. Then the word of mouth on quality sealed the deal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I decided I'd see it when I found out it was about a real-life rivalry rather than a one-man Fast & Furious race/caper film like the advertising implied.

I'm seeing GIFs from the Pacific Rim gag reel, and just this [link] and [link] make me a) twitchy b) love Max Martini c) want to slap Kazinsky.

There is no excuse for that sloppiness! Not even (especially!) a joke!

Kazinsky's glee over getting his nose broken in a fight scene and that footage making it to the final film buys a pass for most anything from me.

No! Crisp katas!
(Could I love the Martini more? No, not a chance. The look on his face makes me want to do the forms with two backs with him...)

Saw RED 2 today, very enjoyable. I love Sarah, she's so un-girly but still likes girly things. Not even a twitch of anything other than joy and delght to receive a customized gun. I hope someone recovered it for her.

"My freezer."
Because you never know when you'll need them.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just saw Don Jon and liked it even more than I expected. He avoided lots of first feature pitfalls and it's quite smartly sweet. My crush on him has grown even stronger now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Glad to hear it, Scrappy. I've been looking forward to seeing that one.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I saw Gravity at an Imax theater in 3-D. Wow, that was intense. I'm glad it was a nice, crisp 90 minutes, because if it had been much longer it would have gotten unbearable. I was pretty sure she was going to make it, and had a feeling Kowalski wouldn't, but still - I was exhausted afterwards.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It was really worth the price of the 3D ticket, because we went to a theater with subwoofers under the seats.
I found I was tilting my head more than normal, which made things start going fuzzy -- because so much of the movie is filmed without a definite up and down, I kept trying to lean to bring it back to normal.
I'm proud to report that my friend and I immediately noticed the low-gravity flames and realized their significance.
The MIT SFF geeks I was with were VERY appreciative of the space stuff on display. We decided that there is a new law: if you have Checkov's fire extinguisher in the second act, you have to use it in the third.
