I totes give it to the dragon, because DRAGON!, but I'm guessing it'll go to Gravity.
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I would have liked Smaug more if he had been punched in the face by a giant robot.

And now I'm picturing Sherlock facing off against a transformer. Hilarious.

I finally saw Catching Fire tonight. It was good! And made pretty good sense out of the crazed ending of the book.
And I did not get carsick watching it, although now I have a headache and feel a little nauseous. Bah.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That was just as good as you would hope it would be.
Particularly loved his description of working on Fantastic Mr. Fox:
Well that was great fun. It was great fun, because it just dragged on and on and on. And it was this fun bunch of people. First we went to our friend's farm, and we all stayed at her place for a handful of days while we recorded during the day and then at night we would have these magnificent meals and we would all tell stories. We had a LOT of great food, a lot of great wine and great stories. It went on until people started literally falling from their chairs and being taken away. And then we had to go to another place and do it again, we went to George's place, but then something happen and the whole party broke up, and George said "you don't have to go, do ya" and I didn't, so we just kicked around Northern Italy for a while. It was a real fiesta. And then Wes was working in England, so I had to fly to England for like 3 days to re-record, but the re-recording only took about 70 minutes, so that was fun. And then I had to go to Paris, once again, another disaster having to go to Paris to re-record for 20 minutes. It was a terrible, terrible experience. That was a really good job and he did a great job on the film. And Wes' brother Eric did a great job as the character, he was just amazing. To me he was the high point of the whole thing. And the artisans working in England that built all those sets and did all that work, the mechanicals, to see them work - that was like a treasure. That was like getting to go backstage to see the finest artists at work.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I also liked his description of working on Garfield, which was the opposite of that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And this:
Q: What is it like being so awesome?
A: Well, nothing prepared me for being this awesome. It's kind of a shock. It's kind of a shock to wake up every morning and be bathed in this purple light.

I saw American Hustle tonight. Definitely the most out and out fun movie DOR has done since Flirting with Disaster, IMO. Still need to see Huckabees though.
