"Who. Had no idea. So who's directing?
"Frank Miller"
"Oh... well, FUCK."
That was my reaction as well.
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

New Bats poster and I read over at Scifi Wire that Del Toro is now actually signed to direct the Hobbit movies.

New Bats poster
Niiiiiice. (Though my favorite part of the poster is where Maggie Gyllenhaal's name is, because it replaces Katie Holmes' name.)

Huh, I somehow missed that Aaron Eckhart is in it. Interesting.

IIRC, Eckhart is Harvey Dent.

Yeah, I checked IMDB after seeing the poster. Wasn't sure if that would be considered spoilery or not, but I guess name cast probably isn't.
Now whether he ends up as Two-face by the end of the movie or not would be a whole other thing.
So let's see: Billy Dee Williams begat Tommy Lee Jones begat Aaron Eckhart
Almost as many iterations as Batman.

A section of my forthcoming book talks about Philippe Petit's walk between the towers of the World Trade Center in 1974 (this walk happened between the recording and release of Richard & Linda Thompson's excellent "The Great Valerio," one of their two great highwire-as-metaphor songs). Anyway, I was surprised to read that there's a movie about Petit playing now in NYC: [link] I wish I lived there! I'd love to see this movie.

Corwood's post had me wondering how that related to comics until I realized what thread we were in. Oops.

I was torn between posting here, Lit, or Music. Comics would have been a decent compromise, I guess. Like the idea that if neither Obama or Hillary have a clear victory by the time of the convention, Al Gore should get the nomination.
