'Safe'
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.
Fnaargh! I have seen the Travolta trailer in question and it freaked me out. Though I would love to see JRM giving the ladies some loving, it's not enough.
Peter Parker is always drawn as cute. It's just the mean shallow people who can't see that he's a worthwhile handsome person. I can't see them going any other way.
DH said Anton Yelchin's name has been tossed around for the new Peter Parker. He's not exactly gritty, but I could see him in the role.
oh, he'd be a cutie.
I waffled between posting this here or in Tech - neurologist states obvious: some people get headaches from watching 3D.
I'm surprised that 3D movies sorta work for me, given my bad eye.
But it's weird. Stereoscopic vision isn't the only way to get a 3D perception. Sometimes if I look at something and my brain can't interpret the 3D-ness of it, I'll move my head from side to side so my good eye can see things shift position, which also creates a 3D effect. (There are animated .gifs that do this for you.) So while watching Avatar, I found myself moving my head from side to side during certain parts - of course, that doesn't work in a movie, as nothing shifts position when you do that. I had to consciously tell myself to keep my head still....
Oh, this is funny -- on that netflix map, you can see that Paul Blart, Mall Cop is more popular near the mall where they filmed it. [link]
I wonder if Grosse Pointe Blank was more popular in the Detroit area? It was certainly fun watching it in Grosse Pointe.
They've finally taken down the huge Sherlock Holmes ad on my way into work...and replaced it with nothing. I feel empty. It would have been cool if they put up this Legion poster, but I suspect that's out of the film's budget. Or maybe something from Book of Eli. Well, I guess putting up nothing is better than replacing the smaller ones with lap band billboards which happened nearer home.
I'm just sad because I'm convinced that Legion will totally suck, despite Bettany's hotness, and Book of Eli will mostly suck.

That's cool. I can tell how gay a Chicago neighborhood is by how high Milk ranks....
Whereas in SF, Milk is the most-rented in almost all the neighborhoods. I love my dead gay city.
The Bettany movie I want to see is Creation.
I love my dead gay city.
And I love any Heathers reference!
