Willow ,'Storyteller'
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.
That's good to hear. I like to see the few French things that come out here, but the story didn't grab me.
Was it mostly in French? Something the director said in an interview about language made me think it was in another language, Corsican or Arabic or something.

I haven't watched the trailer, but I've seen people describe it as the most disgusting thing ever, and I'm wondering if I should just dive in: [link]

I knew what you were talking about from the first link, which is good because as a result I knew not to even click on the second link. Win!
The first time I heard about that movie I set a personal record for going from "ha ha" to "...I feel queasy." And that's when there were just stills, not a trailer. Oog.

I can't quite fathom why that would be a selling point, but it clearly is. I dunno. I feel like the 21st century equivalent of all those old stodgy Victorians who just didn't grok the cultural appeal of those vulgar modernists. Like a tiny part of me is all judgy, a larger part is just surprised, and then there's that reflective part that realizes I'm the vanishing old guard who has less and less cultural relevance.
They've found a director for Runaways. I didn't even know it was up for adaptation. Man, they better do it well.
children of supervillains who are cursed with evil powers but use them for heroic purposes.
What? They're not cursed! And their powers are morally neutral!
Joss Whedon wrote installments of the comic when Vaughan was unavailable.
He wasn't "unavailable"! He stepped down! Geez, Mike Fleming.
It's not even a little bitter. Reading her reviews, I'm kind of shocked.
