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.
Jacob wolfed out
All the way to wolf. That explains the lack of imagery. No wonder that fangirl who wrote the letter about Wolfman was so traumatised by their imagery.
It's probably the fault of movies that werewolves are so often wolf-like men, what with wolves not being good at learning lines and hitting marks. I wonder if improving CGI will change that, or shallowness will reduce that.
Even reading the Battleship synopsis at IO9 doesn't help me. It's a set piece? That's it?

I'm guessing the aliens have some EMP or other anti-electronics technology, forcing us to use old-fashioned technology, like big guns on a battleship. (Then again, maybe the filmmakers have put less thought than this into it.
But why the aliens just land their spaceship in the water and sit there is beyond me....
At least they did research on the water content of our planet.
I spent the first half of the movie why Jessica didn't like it,
The dialogue. Clunky doesn't even begin to describe it.
they're making a movie of game Battleship. And it's going to be about aliens.
From what I can tell reading about it, they are making a movie called Battleship. It seems to be based on the box rather than the actual game inside.

Maybe it's based on the commercials. There will be a bunch of humans and aliens yelling at each other, "You sank my battleship!"

But the aliens will be speaking Decepticon.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is cracking me up on Twitter - [link]
He's trying to find a geological explanation for Pandora. With hilarious results.
Shutter Island was fantastic. Yeah, just reading that others had figured it out in the first ten minutes led me to muse the possible directions, and I nailed it, but I wasn't sure I was right until the movie laid it out. And for all that, I enjoyed the hell out of it. The movie nicely avoided the usual letdown that accompanies revelations and explanations. For me, at least. I was deeply satisfied at the end of the movie.
One thing that I am not sure about is George Noyce and his mention of how he had gotten out once but not twice, and it was Leo's fault. How much of Leo's story about George was true? I'm sure it doesn't really matter. But it's Jackie Fricking Haley, so I'm intrigued by the character.
I love Neil DeGrasse Tyson!
Someone teach the word "infrared" to the CNN reporter.
Hee.
And this:
You have it backwards. You can be a high school Science Teacher, or you can settle as a cosmologist.
Hah!
Okay, you asked for it, an Avatar Chaser: 2 parts Smurffs, 2 parts Tarzan, 4 parts Dances With Wolves. In a Disney sippy cup.
