River ,'Ariel'
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.
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 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 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.
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...
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.....

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."
6 reasons not to watch it.
Please tell me reason #1 is because it was poorly written Twilight fanfic.
...yeah, I can dream.
I read that same article Shrift and kept thinking "my reasons are not your reasons". I think there are much better arguements to be made against wasting any cash on the flick. Starting with Steph's.
I read the wiki summary of the stories, and that doesn't entice me any further. The trailer leaves me uninspired. The plot doesn't seemed based in reality, what there is of it. The only reason my interest was peaked was because CKR has a minor role in it.
