I had some issues with Snowpiercer. Like, where's the residential area?? Also cows, as noted already. Other than that, it was all YES.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

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.

The thing that makes me hesitant to see Snowpiercer is the worry that I'll get thrown out of the story by constant wondering about who's repairing and clearing the train tracks if all the survivors are onboard. Much like my issue with Mira Grant's Feed regarding how infrastructure is maintained and the bazillion testing kits and protective devices manufactured if simply going out in public presents such an ever-present danger.

That is a fair worry! I would say, if you can ignore almost all logistical questions, you're good to go.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Has anyone seen Deliver Us from Evil? I wasn't that interested, but apparently Joel McHale's in it, which makes it somewhat more interesting, but I still don't find the trailers promising. Anyone here have an opinion?

From having seen the ads, it is hilarious how Terry Gross was talking about it as a serious film in her interview with McHale recently.

I would swear I saw a live action B&W Dumbo on late night TV one night. Maybe it was the pain meds back when I was not sleeping. Wikipedia offers no joy.

Terry Gross' interview was how I discovered JMcH is in it. You'd certainly never know it from any of the trailers.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, is the thought that Snowpiercer will start playing in more and more theatres as times goes on, or is this now the window to see it before it disappears and I have to wait for a DVD?
It looks like it will be on more screens in this area come Friday, though still an hour away from me at the closest. it'll also be available On Demand on Friday.

Matt,
re: your white font.
VALID. But guess what, the story is unrelenting. So even if you get thrown out, you won't stay out long.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Caught White House Down on premium cable last night (ok, TiVo'd) and was much more entertained than I expected. It was exactly like "The Emmeriches turn 'West Wing' into an action adventure movie." Complete with things blowing up lots of time.
About the only thing missing was a Presidential Dog leaping to safety at the last minute.
