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'm super excited about this. I've been wanting her to get a superhero movie for ages. Wish Marvel had picked up before now.

reading the link "tent-pole"? Google tells me that means hey expect it to provide huge profits - enough to support the studio. With those kind expectations, does that mean a "mere' success will be a financial failure?

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.

Thanks to conversations many years ago, I cannot see Tom Hardy in Star Trek: Nemesis and not imagine him with a Jilli-esque top hat and parasol to go with that sparkly black gown his character wears.

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.

I suspect I'll have fewer reservations because while Star Trek was mostly still near and dear to my heart when Abrams took his swing at it, I've had decades of books I didn't like and three prequel movies to dispel any good feelings about Star Wars.
I'm not a fan of Abrams' style, but can he really do worse than Jar Jar Binks?
