I also saw Shutter Island today and really liked it, though I also guessed the big twist right away.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

I didn't when I read it, but somehow I would think it would be easier in a visual format.

Because books.
I didn't when I read it
I meant to tell you I was right, megan -- I did guess it! Not the hows, so much, or all the details, but I did get it. And yet he sold it to me anyway, at the end.
I still want to see it. It just looks beautiful and creepy.

I was a lot less sure I was right than when I guessed the twists for Jacob's Ladder and Sixth Sense. And yes, the film is beautiful and creepy.

So I finally saw 9 last night. I spent the first half of the movie why Jessica didn't like it, then the last half of the movie came and I fully saw the MEH. Fantastic, beautiful ideas (for the most part). Ultimately disappointing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Whoa. Disney's Recycled Animation. It's freaky to see all the recycled scenes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What does a Twilight werewolf look like when he's wolfed out? And what does a vampire look like in attack mode? I've never seen a Jacob picture that wasn't shirtless Lautner beefcake. And I just read that the Teen Wolf remake is barely going to fur the new guy up. I'm not sure why they bother.

Because it's completely unrelated...they're making a movie of game Battleship. And it's going to be about aliens.
How in hell is that a movie about Battleship? Or was I playing the wrong version as a kid?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, I was baffled about that. Upon reading the synopsis, it makes a vague, tiny amount of sense.
