It's never lupus.(/House) Except for, in rather an ultimate irony, Flannery O'Connor. That totally was. (Sorry. I'm sure Corwood knows whereof he speaks.)
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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 just saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It was not horrendously awful but not nearly as awesome as the first one. I'm pretty sure all the funny stuff in the first movie was actually funny, whereas almost every attempt at humor fell flat this time. Bizarre.
And the black monkey robots were terrible. Who in God's name thought that was a good idea?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Monkey robots? That's the first time I've heard them called that. Ouch.

Their faces are like monkeys.

Oh, also, District 9 looks AWESOME. I really want to see it.

I'd be careful with the phrase "black monkey."

Oh, sorry. I was trying to point out the racism in the movie, not be racist myself.

Hey. New board.
I can also recommend (500) Days of Summer. Lovely.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Slightly spoilerish casting news for Deathly Hallows which addresses some of the questions brought up by HBP:
1. * Bill Weasley was portrayed by Richard Fish in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. However, he only appeared in a photo of the Weasley family in Egypt. Fish won't return for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; he will be replaced by Brendan Gleeson's son Domhnall.
2. * Despite not being in the Half-Blood Prince film, photos for the Deathly Hallows show Bill with the scars left by Fenrir Greyback.

Emmett and I saw Up today. I would've gone earlier if I knew there would be a Zeppelin in it.
It was excellent. Moving and funny in equal parts, and typically Pixarishly gorgeous.
I've been repeating Doug's (the dog) joke all afternoon: "It's funny because a squirrel dies."
