Hey, Joey Shithead!

[Choop]

The Avengers. See it.

[miles]

Ha, I just came here to ask if anyone has seen it.

Is it even worth the opening weekend crowds? Keep in mind that I hate crowds.

[Choop]

i hate crowds too, and waiting in lines. this is a real audience-friendly film, though, and it felt like the packed house really added to the punch of the whole thing. the jokes were funnier, the action was more intense, and of course seeing it in 3D doesn't hurt a movie like this: downton abbey it ain't.

OK, I just saw it today, and I liked it. One of my favorite things about Utah (especially the south part of Salt Lake County and even better and just a bit further south, Utah County) is that theaters are empty on Sunday mornings. But I do get what you said about the packed house adding to the whole thing. There were only two other people, and lines that got a chuckle out of me were met with silence by those guys. The only laugh the movie got out of them was when the Hulk punched Thor when they were fighting together at the end. But yeah, it kicked ass for the most part. I hope Whedon does the sequel.

if anybody reading gets the chance, check out the new flick "God Bless America" starring Joel Murray, Bill's youngest acting brother, and written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwaite. The missus and I watched it last night, and really enjoyed it for what it is: a funny revenge fantasy focused on reality TV and the death of civility in American culture. It's on demand with a lot of cable companies (comcast for certian, via experience) and probably won't see much of a theatric release or award season acclaim, regardless whether it deserves either.

I saw Dark Shadows on the weekend, which was wonderful.  Very much in the style Tm Burton does best.  I liked it a lot more than his version of Alice in Wonderland.

i kind of want to see that even though i was only ever vaguely aware of the show as a kid.

also, what i did see recently:

The Grey (this made me think of nabu in the most discomforting way)
Dead man's Shoes
District B13 (i saw this before, but i watched it again recently.  its a hell of a fun  action movie.  if you can help it dont watch the dubbed version.  the dubs make it clown-y and ruin the "dry french wit".  also, badass parkour stunts.)

I thought I loved Tim Burton movies (despite not liking movies much at all, as some of you may recall) until I made the mistake of seeing that awful Sleepy Holllow one. Now I'm afraid to see any more.

Yeah, Sleepy Hollow was a real disappointment.  I'd suggest giving Dark Shadows a try - there's a sense of humour to it that I appreciated.  I only had the vaguest of memories of the soap opera it's based on.  It isn't a perfect movie, but it's a fun movie.

[greenkoolayd]

isnt chloe moretz in it?  if she keeps playing her cards right, she's gonna fuckin go places.

[side_show]

She was.  I don't think I've ever seen her in anything else, but she did a good job playing a sullen teen.

[Choop]

find/rent/pirate/whatever the following films:
- Hugo
- Let Me In (also its original, Let the Right One In, from Sweden, for comparison's sake)
- Kick-Ass
they're her three biggest roles, and show why she keeps getting work. she's only 15 and already incredibly successful and talented. she's also done a couple of episodes of 30 rock as a foil to jack and i'm going to quit before this starts to sound too creepy. i swear i'm not perving out.

[lprkn]

I just really hope she doesn't flame out, that seems to happen a lot to really successful and talented young women in Hollywood.

[theinevitable]

Evilspeak. Whoa! I think it was actually... really good? I normally hate scary movies, paranormal movies, etc. But I really liked this one.
