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.

He was one of those people I really thought would live forever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fox Animation Nabs 'Nimona' Adaptation With 'Feast' Director (Exclusive)

I just squeed!

eta:

In a competitive situation, Fox Animation has landed the rights to Nimona, the New York Times best-selling graphic novel by Noelle Stevenson, for an adaptation to be directed by Patrick Osborne, the helmer behind the Oscar-winning animated short Feast.

"A competitive situation" - I've always thought Nimona would make a great animated film and was wondering why I'd never heard anything on this subject. I guess Noelle Stevenson's been busy behind the scenes.

I think I would prefer it as live-action instead of animation, though.

I was thinking it'd be too... cartoony for live-action. But I can't really explain it better.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Noelle Stevenson is KILLING IT between this and the Lumberjanes movie.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I watched Divergent yesterday. It wasn't a bad film, but I was squicked by the age difference between the lead and her co-star. Probably because I usually see her playing teenagers and him playing adults.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I saw Mad Max, finally! Loved it. Most everyone has commented on everything.

I remember the Road Warrior not making much sense. It was kind of nihilistic. this was more circular and most of the events were satisfying in the end.

The guy who played Nox is in everything, isn't he?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I just saw it too. OMG so many feels. Tom Hardy wasn't so much Mad Max as Melancholy Max, but I'm OK with that because this was the womens' show. Seriously. Well, and Nux - best transition in an action film I've ever seen from wormy secondary villain to woobie who saves the day. And with almost all show not tell. Damn that was one amazing piece of filmmaking and the fact that the director (and co-screenwriter) is in his 70's makes my jaw drop.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Nicholas Hoult did an amazing job in that role. Most seamless transition from child actor to adult since Christian Bale, really. He's got pretty remarkable range.
