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.
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.

Chris Pine really is a good looking dude, isn't he?
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.

He's no Zach Quinto.
Finally! A dude we don't agree on!! No fighting over agreeing that you get the hot dude we both like
megan, I wonder because everything else George says seems to come from the perspective of reality, rather than roleplaying. I mean, maybe it was a mix of both, but there's the fact that many of the players were knowingly playing a role in order to enable the delusion. And here's this guy trying to tell him the truth.
I had heard the book was a lot more ambiguous than the movie, and I feel pretty comfortable with what I think I know in the movie. Except this one part.
Well, in the book, George says that the fact that he was beaten up was Leo's fault. Leo assumes this is indirectly his fault based on his earlier investigation landing George in the asylum again, but actually he physically beat him up as a fellow inmate.
I spent the first half of the movie why Jessica didn't like it,
The dialogue. Clunky doesn't even begin to describe it.
Oh yeah, totally. It's just that the first half of the movie has a lot less dialog, and the dialog that is there is a lot less clunky by virtue of not containing the awful exposition. But yes, when the credits rolled, I found myself not liking the movie much, and thinking it could have been vastly improved by removing every last bit of dialog.

And adding a jaunty piano soundtrack!
That tracks in the movie, quite clearly, but it's the story that Teddy told about how George had committed a crime, landed in jail, then escaped and that's how Teddy found out about the experiments
coupled with the story that George then tells about how he got out once and now he's back because of Teddy. That could be part of a truth that Teddy did indeed run into George on the outside. Or could he possibly mean that he got out of ward C, rather than the island itself?
