hadn't heard of Summer Hours, but I am finding myself hungry for movies with discernably human storylines. (Note: not as in human vs animal, more human vs BANG!POW!CRASH!!!)
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I didn't see Fantastic Mr. Fox, but mr. flea and both kids (3 and 6) loved it.

The controversy over the marketing of Valentine's Day made me look at the poster, and this movie has Jessica Alba, Jamie Foxx, Ashton Kutcher, AND Julia Roberts in it. (What, Nicholas Cage and Kathie Lee weren't available?) Plus the brushed-under-the-rug gay storyline stars Eric Dane, who seems like a great guy in real life but might as well stand in the corner holding out a handful of cigars. I don't know if my affection for Queen Latifah and Bradley Cooper is strong enough to be worth subjecting myself to this thing.

Matt,
what controversy? I didn't know there was a controversy.

The trailers make it look as if Julia Roberts and Bradley Cooper are a couple, but it's Cooper and Eric Dane who are together.

Because books.

Wow, I had no clue.
I have zero interest in that movie, except now I would very much like to see Eric Dane and Bradley Cooper kissing.

Wow... I'm kind of hating 20th Century Fox right now. I just found out they removed the special features from dvds for rental places like Netflix and Blockbuster. So we couldn't see the deleted scenes and alternate opening from Whip It, and there's nothing except previews on Jennifer's Body. So lame, Fox!

Our wings are not tired.
Really?! Wow. The extras on the dvds are sometimes the only reason that I want to rent the dvd rather than just stream. Guess I won't consider that anymore.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't think they're the only studio, since I had the same thing happen with Assassination of Jesse James, a WB release.
