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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Apparently the Hollywood Reporter just walks you through the movie, so avoid that too.

Since no review is going to alter my actions related to seeing the movie, I am not even feeling tempted to read any. I made a conscious decision to stop imbibing the Avengers juice in anticipation but all I'm feeling right now is impatience for it to be fucking Friday. Jesus.

But wasn't the point of BP's dialogue in Snatch to be incomprehensible?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That could make for a somewhat hilarious movie.

I've been telling people that! With the same example of Bane mumbling and then whoever is in the scene with him going "WHAT?"

I told Tim that about an hour ago, complete with the swearing. WHY IS IT MONDAY?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, I was sending an email at work about scheduling, and I had no problem thinking about the end of the week as the end of the week, but it really felt like it was already Wednesday or something.

Great, so it's basically a Batman movie with Cousin Itt as the villain.

Great, so it's basically a Batman movie with Cousin Itt as the villain.

Well, except everyone in the Addams family understands what Cousin Itt is saying. So, more like Darth Vader with scratchy throat.

The Dark Knight Rises was remarkable. Oscar nomworthy. I was impressed. Also things went boom and there was hitting.
