'The Message'
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.

See, that's what I'm saying about the Great Race. You've got the awesome gothicky Fate mansion, and Fate himself, and then you've got a ton of steampunk elements. And Natalie Wood's costumes. And the hoYay between Fate and Max. I'd love to see a Weta version of the movie, but I'm so scared of potential modern casting choices, and it's not like there's any way to improve on Edwards' movie.
Clooney would make an awesome Leslie. That's about the only Hollywood-approved bit of casting I could see happening. Who'd get cast as Fate and Max is the really terrifying question.
Jim Carrey and Mike Myers.
And maybe Megan Fox as Maggie.
Eddie Izzard as Professor Fate.
Sam Rockwell as Max.
Amy Adams as Maggie.
Sam Rockwell has lost me as of Iron Man II. I think his needle has been stuck on "George Bush impression" since he did HHGttG, and there are a very limited range of contexts in which I can stomach that.

Really? Did you see Moon?
Was Robin Hood a total bomb? It's already at our dollar theater.
I survived Eclipse, y'all! I enjoyed it more than expected, but my expectations were set VERY low, so that isn't saying much. Basically, I didn't want to kill anyone sitting near me and Kelly and I were able to laugh at the crazy stuff on the screen.
I always love the way NYTimes reviews explain the rating:
“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is rated PG-13 (parents strongly cautioned). It has blood, death and either nothing but sex or no sex at all.
