smonster, I really understand your reaction.
It was very pretty and jumped from set piece to set piece. I think some critic (or was it one of us?) said that Peter Jackson makes theme park ride movies?
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

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.

I wish PJ still made movies like The Frighteners. I am of the mind that I will not watch anymore of his flicks like I refused to see the final Star Wars movie, even if it means bad blood between me and lil'bro.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
If anyone can find a pirated copy with Samantha Morton's voice in place of ScarJo I would pay cash for it.
I would love to see that version too, but I prefer Morton as an actress to Johansson. Definitely want to see Her regardless.
I want to see Don Jon too.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am doing crazy flaily Kermit arms and a Bobby Hill squeal of excitement at the same time: the National Theatre Frankenstein is playing at one of our movie theaters this month!!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, Steph, go see it!! It's amazing! Are you getting both versions?

We are getting both versions! I told Tim we could go see just one (tickets are $20 for each showing, and we are cheap), and he said "We HAVE to see them both!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
quester, Catching Fire talk starts here-ish: Anne W. "Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai" Nov 22, 2013 1:49:57 pm PST In related news, I finally saw it! So many things just made me think of the book, in a good way. Like, the Avox just standing in the background. And basically half the characters, about whom I have much stronger feelings than the movie would have given a viewer, I think.

Oh, so at the theater, I'm watching this preview/feature thing with interviews for a movie about SEALS or whatever, and I turn to my friend and say, "So this movie is about everyone except Marky Mark dying?" ...and then the title of the film comes on screen. Lone Survivor. So, yeah.
