Don't know if I should put this here or in Natter, but the brother of director Christopher Nolan is currently incarcerated in downtown Chicago awaiting extradition to Costa Rica on a murder charge, and he was caught planning an escape.
I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom!

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.

Oh, I thought it was Jonathan. I didn't know he had another brother.

I somehow elided over "the brother of" when I first read that and had a major WTFF?!??! moment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm shallowly glad it's not Jonathan Nolan. I like him free and writing, thank you very much. Even if he's to blame for Terminator: Salvation. I haven't actually seen that, so I won't hold it against him.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Even if he's to blame for Terminator: Salvation.
There's plenty of blame to spread around for that movie.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I didn't think J Nolan was to blame for the abominable final product. The fact that the plot veered so sharply at the end from an original script was troubling to me. The original end would have been shocking and amazing. I'm not sure it would have saved the movie, but it sure would have brought something different.
So glad Christopher Nolan has another brother. I was very worried.

FYI: WalMart and Target are reducing DVD prices to $10, including on new bestsellers such as Star Trek and Harry Potter 6. Amazon would presumably be matching these prices.

Movie-better-than-book: Die Hard. The novel it was based on, Roderick Thorp's Nothing Lasts Forever was horseshit wrapped in a fecal tortilla and sprinkled with grated poop.

I had no idea it was based on a book! Huh.
And it was originally supposed to be a sequel to Commando. What! Man, movies are weird sometimes.

It was? Really?
How fucked up is that?
