You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

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.

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

In a screeching 180 degree change of direction, Mother of George sounds like it could be beautiful(ly heartbreaking) if it lives up to that review. Where to see, where to see...

I think what's maybe not coming across to non-readers is 75 years of lockdown. Three quarters of a century and no one has dared step out of place. If Katniss hadn't been walking around when she shouldn't be, she wouldn't have known about dissidents elsewhere. What she represents hasn't happened since Panem had the shit beat out of it--Snow has been good at his job. This is unprecedented.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ooh, le n, I bet you are right about the next movies.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Burrell,

further, I bet the next movie ends with Peeta trying to choke her out. That would be dramatic and set up the final movie.

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

I agree with -t that the Robocop trailer looks like fun. I just read an article about the upcoming Roadhouse remake, and of course the comments that didn't bemoan the inevitable apocalypse turned to casting:

At the top of my head I can only think of Chris Hemsworth as having the right badass-to-great-hair ratio.

Maybe Statham…..with a mullet-wig?

Bad guys – Fassbender’s a safe bet but not sure if he’d piss on this thing if it were on fire

Doesn't it have to be Statham? At least of those three?

But the funniest comments are the ones that say it can't be remade because it's good.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Homefront, where Jason Statham plays a redneck who beats up people, opens next week.

Is there a blind musician in it? The work might already be done.

Or Sam Elliot. Either of the two would be sufficient, both might be too much.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Patrick Swayze wasn't Patrick Swayze when he made Road House , was he? Is this a role that really calls for an in-demand actor?

I admit I think it would be hilarious if they cast someone like Seth Green or Scott Caan in the role, so that their eye level would be about even with the thug antagonists' midriffs.
