ION, I just got back from seeing
District 9
and
Moon
back to back. I think I'll buy some
catfood
for my
clone.

Wow. What a fantastic afternoon of movie watching, tommy. Two of the best movies of the year, and both two of the better movies of the last several years.
I just watched RockNRolla, one of the coolest little lumps of cinematic WTF? I've ever seen...
re: District 9 and the gore: sure there was the scifi type, which, yeah, not so bad, although gross. What got me was the
chewing on the nail and the falling out teeth and the chopping of appendages.
What got me was the
'popcorn'.
Am I terribly late on getting on the "Chris Evans is hot" train? He did nothing for me in Fantastic Four, was intrigued by him in Sunshine, and I can't even recall what flipped the switch to WANT. But I just watched Push (wonderful character torture) and Street Kings (as Colin Farrel was to Minority Report) in quick succession. I want more.
So they're ... doing a new take on the book/character? Or they're remaking the first outing?
I assume it would be a movie version of The Vampire Lestat, which was skipped the first time around. (I suppose they could also be planning a movie version of Tale of The Body Thief or Memnoch The Devil, but, er, NO. PLEASE GOD NO.)

I concur. Wholeheartedly.
Actually, I suspect the rumor is complete bullshit. But speculation is so much more amusing.
