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.

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.

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

"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.

That's interesting math.

Patrick Swayze wasn't Patrick Swayze when he made Road House , was he?

He's iconic in it, though. If you cast a nobody (he'd already made Dirty Dancing at this point, so he wasn't, though) you'd have to be really confident he is going to own it, since it's now a cult classic.

When did he become Patrick Swayze? The Roadhouse one, I mean?

Non-spoilery Catching Fire review that gets to the meat of the matter.

Except he's so wrong! I go into the movies thinking he's right, but by the end, he's wrong. Both times. And his Twilight argument is highly specious. COME ON.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I agree with him on the main point! Although his Twilight argument is specious indeed.

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

The Twilight argument is specious, to be sure. But I'm wondering why the reviewer was wearing a bullet proof vest?

Because he's wrong!
