The previews looked like it was one of those "You'll only get everything if you're a geek" movies.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So glad to hear that, Jessica. We are all looking forward to that movie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DAMN. The soundtrack doesn't come out until Feb 4! I kind of need to have "Everything Is Awesome" in my earphones RIGHT NOW.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Jessica,
the ads don't do the movie justice. Maybe I need to peep this out then.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
He had undergone treatment for drug addiction in the past, and spoke in interviews about “falling off the wagon” last year after remaining clean for 23 years.
23 years. Geez.

Seriously. I had no idea. You never really "recover" from addiction, do you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
In a completely selfish reaction - I don't think he was done filming "Mockingjay ptII".

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Compassionately intolerant
xposting from a parallel conversation in Natter:
So he managed another 23 years of life and work than he might have. That's good.
Still sad, of course, but these kind of thoughts make me feel better.
I'm with -t. Bless him for the well-fought battle.
It makes me sad to think that anything, or anyone could have toppled him after so long clean.
I sometimes wonder about a plumber in my neighborhood who has 30 years clean but EVERY day talks about how he's just one fuck up away from oblivion. He proudly states that he has never, ever taken a vacation that was not to an NA convention.
I tended to think he just has a flair for the dramatic. I will, from this point forward, take him more seriously.
