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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Epic vid! Great music choice, fantastic motion and energy, wowza! Fun, indeed. Lots of Tony love there, but movie!Stark is just such a theatrical guy and RDJ imbued the character with so much grace and poise.

It did make me pause and wonder if Jane contributed more than just "OMG, hot dude!" (I know that science geekery/genius is hard to translate in a visually interesting manner).

And I didn't even catch that the taiko had changed to tapdancing, so very cool. (Especially when including the dude tapdancing almost literally as he's electrocuted).

I loved the repeated visuals of Ironman pushing the turbines/scenes, that was fun, and just all of the followed-through motion from left to right and top to bottom.

And the fact that there were custom made Marvel logos with new words, holy bejeebus.

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.

Eh. Maybe I'm pre-migrainey today, because all that vid did was give me a headache. I had to turn it off after 30 seconds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Okay, over on FB Victor got me curious enough to watch the trailer for 50 Shades of Grey. He's right -- the trailer is actually VERY pretty. (Except the actors -- that's my opinion, not Victor's. Those are...interesting casting choices. I would not bang that dude in an elevator.)

Still not going to see it, but it's a pretty trailer.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

The ONLY thing I am miffed about not being at SDCC for: the mini haunted house for Crimson Peak. Guillermo del Toro was giving people tours of it.

That is THE movie I'm looking forward to. A friend of mine is working on some related things for it, and says I will lose my gothy mind over it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I got to see an advanced screening of Guardians of the Galaxy last night. I liked it way more than I expected, and I went in expecting to have a good time. My biggest surprise was how much I liked Groot. The CGI on Groot is amazing! He's very expressive and, as mentioned in interviews, every "I am Groot" is different. I want all the Groot merch now--t-shirts, action figures, one-shot origin story comics, you name it.

Hey. New board.

Has anybody NOT liked GotG? Every early review I've seen has been positive.

We are expecting baby 2 any day now and now I'm crossing my fingers she holds out past Aug 1...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Has anybody NOT liked GotG?

Nope.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have GOT to stop reading these things! For everyone who says "I can't believe it lived up to the hype!" the bar for me just gets higher and higher! I guess I have a week to remind myself that there's no way it's that good.....

Okay, over on FB Victor got me curious enough to watch the trailer for 50 Shades of Grey.

Ha, whereas on FB I clicked on a link my cousin had posted, which was an article giving women 6 reasons not to watch it. One of those reasons was Because Christianity and now I'm feeling all dirty and "get off my side, you're making my side look bad."
