"So this movie is about everyone except Marky Mark dying?" ...and then the title of the film comes on screen. Lone Survivor. So, yeah.
When I saw this trailer with Emmett I leaned over and whispered to Emmett, "I know which one survives..."
Simon: You are my beautiful sister. River: I threw up on your bed. Simon: Yep. Definitely my sister.

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'd just like to caution anyone considering the National Theatre Frankenstein that it's unexpectedly rapey if that's something that will be a trigger.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Huh. I'm glad to know that ahead of time, so I'm prepared.

Edited to add some coherency. We didn't know going into Frankenstein and were unpleasantly surprised.
More info below in spoiler font:
It's the Monster who is rapey, so if you have fond feelings for one of the actors, maybe see it when he's playing Frankenstein and not the Monster.

I like both actors fairly equally, so I'm just glad to be prepared.

I just saw Dhoom 3. It was glorious.

Finally caught Thor: Dark World. Plot twists galore! Loki's choice of illusions as they walked down the hall was brilliant.
And they certainly didn't do anything to slow down the Loki fangirls at all.
edit: He does woobie very well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just saw American Hustle, and holy shit -- Elisabeth Rohm was Mrs. Polito?? She was unrecognizable.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
She WAS.
So, if I am gong to see Thor 2 tonight and I didn't see the first film (but did see The Avengers), what do I need to know?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Odin is the ruler, Thor is the heir, Loki is the (we found out) adopted son. Thor and Loki have huge daddy issues.
Thor has a group of sidekicks called Lady Sif and the Warriors Three. The Warriors Three consist of a big guy, a British guy, and an Asian guy.
When he got exiled to Earth in the first movie, he ran into Natalie Portman, who is a scientist. She has a mentor (Selvig, who was in The Avengers) and a mouthy sidekick (Darcy).
I...think that's it? Mostly, it's the daddy issues.
