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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have to vote with them on the sequels. I really have to ignore them when I consider the original. They did so little of what I enjoyed with the first one.

I thought Sherlock Holmes was all sorts of fun. Of course, me being me, I would have preferred if they left the magic as magic, instead of tacked-on rational explanations. Yeah yeah, I know, that wouldn't have fit with the general canon. But it was marvelous fun, and the interaction between Holmes and Watson was great.
Also, my wardrobe is sadly lacking bustles. I need more.
We got trailers for Iron Man 2 (wheee!), Inception (whee?), Sorcerer's Apprentice (It'd be more wheee! about it if it wasn't Nicholas Cage), some rom-com with Jennifer Anniston that I don't even remember the title of, and some cop movie with Bruce Willis. I was hoping for a Wolfman trailer (paranormal! Vaguely Victorian-esque setting!), and I was really hoping for an Alice In Wonderland trailer. Alas, I got neither.

The cop movie--was it the one with Tracy Morgan? That looked like a distillation of everything I found annoying. We had that one too.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

With Bruce Willis? Called A Couple of Dicks?

They changed the name. It's called Cop Out.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Speaking of which, does anyone know how detectives became known as "dicks". I have been wondering that for ages, but google (understandably) tends to send me to porn.

Ah. When we saw Kevin Smith in September, he said he wasn't sure if the studio was going to let them keep the name.
