And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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.

Aliens: still a damn good movie.
That would probably be in my favorite 20 movies of all time, and in the top five action movies. Also in the action subcategory: Die Hard, Dirty Dozen, Jaws, The Fugitive, and with The Untouchables as the Honorable Mention. Although that list might change tomorrow, depends on my mood and if anyone reminds me of any better movies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
Just saw District 9. Really good, if a bit heavy-handed in the beginning. Great effects, and the guy who played Wikes was great.
Got previews for Zombieland, Legion, Surrogates, and Shutter Island, which still said it was coming in October, although I heard it got moved to February of next year, I think? It looks wonderful -- I'm wondering why they moved it.
Legion looks like it could be either awesome or a train wreck, but Zombieland just looks like plain old fun.

Shutter Island is that Scorsese DiCaprio thing, right? Looks creepy. Anyway, I think I read that it got moved to next year for purely financial reasons, the studio wants the marketing expenses to come out of next years budget or something like that.

Oh, that makes sense. And yeah, it's another Scorsese/DiCaprio. It does look good, and I just read it was based on a Dennis Lehane novel, which makes me want to read it first.

Maybe they want to redo the Shutter Island promos so they don't give away the entire story. Because I was more interested in it before I saw the trailer, and went "Oh. Seriously?"

Always Anti-fascist!
I liked the book, but I don't like Di Caprio as much as Scorcese does.
