I just need the "walking around being hot" part.
In fact, he doesn't even have to walk around. He can just stand there and smile.

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.

The reviews for Kick Ass are starting to come out: [link]
Oh dear. I'm going to have to go see it. I'm going to have to go see it at the theater where they yell at the screen.
I'm so ashamed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hate Nic Cage so much, though. He sours everything he touches. Otherwise I'd be unequivocally down with this.

Why have I not heard of Kick Ass? I'm falling down on the job.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think I mentioned if here at some point. I've been reading it for a while.

Maybe I mentioned it in comics. I'm not good with the remembering.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It's based on a series written by Mark Millar.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I see from reading back that I was the only person here to enjoy Alice. I don't disagree with most of the criticisms - although I think Alice's lack of agency is typical of fantasy stories, from LotR to The Neverending Story - but I really enjoyed it all the same. I was enchanted by the less central characters, in particular. And I thought it was fairly faithful to the source, for an adaptation. Compared with the horrific Disney animated movie from the 1980s, for example. I too would have loved a darker version, but I can't imagine that Disney would have funded anything darker than that. (Would have been interesting to see what Burton made of it if he'd had freer rein, though.)
