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.

Everytime I see Push, I think Precious.
If they'd switched plots, Mariah Carey could have saved them a ton in SFX costs for the gang that could make people's ears bleed by screaming.

Because books.
I loved A Perfect World when it came out. I haven't seen it since, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Losers was not a heavily-hyped comic book adaptation for many parsings of that sentence. Where did the promo stuff say it was from a comic?

That looks awesome. I love Luc Besson, and JZ will die from the costuming porn.

Well, he's directed so little this decade, I'm not surprised to see a Besson film do well. There are so few action directors in France.
I really need to get those books.

This decade is only four months old! Give Luc a break!

It didn't! Which surprised me. For that matter, I don't think Kick-Ass ever said it was based on a comic book either. Neither has Scott Pilgrim. The only comic book movie I can think of that specifically highlighted that it was a comic book movie is Watchmen. Well, and that French movie.

Okay, fine, Mr. Pickypants, this millennium. Are you happy now?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This millennium is only 1% old!
