Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

ita, because I really despised what Jackson and company did with LotR and really like Ten Inch and McAvoy.

We are opposites! I thought the movies were highly entertaining and couldn't get past the first couple chapters of the first book.

I did read all of The Hobbit and thought it was an interesting story but the writing was just so bad.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hmmm...could they have had Snape be the one to petrify Harry? Then you get Harry being allowed to make the choice, but still be restrained at the really critical moment?

I think it's one of those books like The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe that I should have read when I was a kid and didn't have such an active internal editor.

I know! My best friend is a HUGE Tolkien fan and she is just appalled. But I can't get into it! Such a slog for me.

It is a totally different vibe from the LotR.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I had to force myself to finish the damn books.

Always Anti-fascist!

I liked the Hobbit, but found that the trilogy went better if I read about every third page...it seems like they walk faster that way.
