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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

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

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!"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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!

Juliebird, that the type of question I wasn't sure about reading the book, that is, since he is basically imagining the whole scenario, how much of what you have read/seen over the course of the story is true.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He's no Zach Quinto.
