Heh, I hadn't even thought of THOSE logic points. But agreed that it works on an emotional level like WHOA.
Also, somewhere along the way, Matthew M became one of my favorite actors. Didn't ever expect THAT to happen.
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm super excited about this. I've been wanting her to get a superhero movie for ages. Wish Marvel had picked up before now.

I'm watching the first Sherlock Holmes movie. Gosh, I love Mary. She's not berating Holmes for Watson getting hurt, she's telling him it was Watson's choice and to get out there and solve the problem.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Since it's directed JJ Abrams, I expect the rest of the film will be *exactly* like this trailer: a series of pretty vignettes that have nothing to do with each other, and make no sense when viewed in sequence.

Tom, I expect you are correct. And I really distrust JJ Abrams, but it's going to be very hard NOT to be in line to see this on opening day. Despite everything.
