So... anybody seen Malificent yet? I'm waiting for a consensus to see if I bother.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just watched Snowpiercer, and then read a couple of reviews, and I'm really glad I knew so little about it. I'd seen people recommending staying away from trailers, and although I haven't seen one yet, it's definitely a film worth loving or hating going in, uh, cold.
I, personally, loved it. I didn't realise until way into the movie that I needed a subtitle file--most of it is in English, but there is important dialogue in Korean (I *think* it's Korean?).
A true delight for all SWINTON fans. And I really don't want Chris Evans to stop acting.

I saw a special about Tatiana's double (whose name I'm forgetting)
She has more than one, in "making of" that I've seen. But surely one primary one.
Colin tried to remove all the magic from that for me by over-explaining, in even more detail than the making-ofs, but when I pointed out we could tell when she was one clone pretending to be another clone, he pretty much nodded and gave props.
Which--the effects are good, but they've been working on those for a long while now. What Tatiana is doing is much rare, and I'm going to assume much harder, judging by the number of actors with 3 expressions and 2 characters.
It sounds like what they are going to do is something similiar to what the Orphan Black special fx crew uses
I'm assuming it will be way more sophisticated than Brandon Lee (how old are we???) but it will be morbidly interesting to compare it to the final Hunger Games.

So I finally saw Only Lovers Left Alive and, yes, that's EXACTLY what I expected from a Jim Jarmusch vampire movie (that's a good thing, btw).
Also, SWINTON!!!!!

I loved that the font used for the credits and, seriously, the final shot of the movie are straight out of Hammer. Loved!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I couldn't believe that was real at first. They're casting via Twitter now!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Wow, I thought for sure that rumor would never turn out to be true.

I'm very pleased, I must admit.
