I've become interested after seeing the Hit-Girl clips because apparently I can't resist an adorable moppet behaving (and talking) like a Tarantino character.
Strega is me.
I found a clip. Haaaaa, oh my God, that is amazing. I am definitely in.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

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.

I've only seen the commercials for Book of Eli, but is it really that he has a Bible ? and that's the big whoop?

Isn't there at least one copy of that for every two people in the world? I don't think you could get to "Last Bible on Earth" within the next hundred years or so even if no more were printed from today onward. There'd always be some forgotten in motel rooms and whatnot .
Speaking of movies about the last of things that are unlikely to run out, I saw Daybreakers today. Save your money unless the cinematography in the previews struck you as beautiful enough to waste 2 hours on.

I'm disappointed about Daybreakers, I was hoping it would be a decent movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've seen people wondering what the Book was, but the previews seemed to show sample text pretty clearly. So I was imagining/hoping it was a little more complicated than just that.
As for Daybreakers, the reviews I read were bad, but the descriptions interesting. Was it a poor execution, Matt?

Sleepwalking lead, premise doesn't hold up under scrutiny (I guarantee there'd have been riots and societal collapse long before the supply of living humans was almost exhausted, especially given how violent vampires are shown to be), Heroes-like treatment of locations (there are maybe 5 in the movie besides unimportant background stuff, and everyone can get into them silently without difficulty for surprise twists/reversals, of which there are so many it was like watching the last minute of 20 episodes of Angel one after another).
It was atmospherically production-designed, well-photographed, and Sam Neill did his usual good job of Lex Luthoring. But those were about the only good points.

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

I LOVE the two fighty-bitey-drama babies at the beginning. That's MY plastic bottle trash! You go back to playing with your rock! Actually I love the whole thing. One of my Big Parenting Issues is we are so trapped in our US upper-middle class right way to parent box, and a good antidote is to see how other cultures do stuff. (My kids would, of course, be fazed by a goat drinking the bath water, though.)
