Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
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.
Azkaban has the virtue of the best director of the entire series.
All the kid actors also noted that he was the one began to teach them how to act. Chris Columbus would literally say, "Do the line exactly like this" and give them the line reading he wanted.
Cuarón also changed the production design considerably, making Hogwarts look much more worn and aged.

ALL. OF. THIS.
Two new anime films came out Tuesday: Weathering with You and Ride Your Wave. I can't wait!!!
Azcaban is one of my favorite books and movies in the series. I especially loved the production design in the movie.
I quite like Chamber of Secrets these days, but Sorcerer's Stone is rough. And after Azkaban so much is missing, until book 7 when not enough is.
Still, I think the HP movie series is my favorite Big Book Series adaptation when taken as a whole, at least so far. LotR is probably better but the movies are just so damn long and The Two Towers just doesn't gel for me at all.
And let us not speak of GoT.
The Big Book Adaptation that most hugely improves on the book is Twilight. Works MUCH better on screen despite still being really meh. Jurassic Park is close.
Is Alita: Battle Angel a good enough movie for Saturday movie night, or is it a cheesy thing that I should just watch on my own?
Ars Technica did a 35th Anniversary retrospective on Real Genius and now I want to watch it again. [link]
God, I love that movie so much.
"In the immortal words of Socrates, 'I drank what?!'"
Great write up.
I'm playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey right now and Sokrates is an NPC you interact with from time to time and that line goes through my head every time he's on-screen.
The author of an article I'm working on is named Mako Mori. I am DYING over here.
