Our local art house theater says it's coming soon. No date, though, so I have to keep checking back.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I will be seeing it this week. From what I've heard Swinton/Hiddleston are by far the most stylish vampires since Bowie/Deneauve (sp?).
Not so violent though.
I figure I know a Jarmusch movie and if it's vampire movie the way he did, say a western, or a prison break movie, I know exactly what I'm getting, which I love.

Your whitefont is correct. Which is one of my teeny quibbles with the film, just because I like my vampires to be bloodthirsty. I would have like to have seen Swinton/Hiddleston devour someone. I also would have liked Olde Timey Flashbacks, because seeing those two in historical costumes while being vampires would have been PERFECT.

Exactly. It's gorgeous.

IRGT your whitefont comments, Jilli, that's actually what I expected one of your only quibbles to be, based on reviews.
On your other quibble I think those kind of flashbacks are very much not the thing Jarmusch would do. It's just not his nature. Heh.

Yeah, I know it's not really something Jarmusch does, so it's not like I was expecting it, more like nurturing a mild hope.
Also, I desperately need crossover fic of this with the opening of The Hunger. John and Miriam cross paths with Adam and Eve, icy stares and pointed banter happen.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Man, Amazing Spider-Man 2 tried to cram WAY too much plotty stuff into one movie. That said, I liked it overall. If you go in accepting that Harry Osborne and Electro are going to chew the scenery like crazy, you can just sit back and go with it. I still really like Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, although I don't think anyone is supposed to accept that he's 19.
Also, I've been reading Spider-Man since I was 5, so even though I was unspoiled, I knew Gwen Stacy was going to die, because that's what happens to Gwen Stacy. Damn it.
And on the way home, Tim got to learn the phrase "Women in Refrigerators."
Oh, and this is only relevant to people who also watch Arrow, but (whitefonted for Spider-Man) Peter Parker is really giving Ollie competition in the "walking bag of pain" competition. Frankly, Batman needs to shut his whiny mouth.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I haven't watched the movie yet and normally don't like being spoiled, but I read the white font anyway because I wanted to know how they were handling that.
This is one instance where I would happily say screw reflecting the comic books.
