Word.  Take Lockout for example: this was an unabashed B-movie, didn't throw in many winks, and genuinely tried to deliver the "Space prison" goods.  Unfortunately, it sucked ass.  I was all geared up to enjoy the fuck out of that movie, but the script, action, and acting (except for Guy Pearce, he's always fun) were

When I was thirteen, I was going through a big King phase, and I was about midway through the Shining one night when my parents were out of town.  At the time I thought I was hot shit and couldn't get scared by anything, so I kept reading long into the night.  Then the power went out.  Well, I went to get some

So can someone drop the SPOILER bomb here?  What happens in those three seconds?

You know, I haven't seen a good ole-fashioned three hour epic in theaters in a long time.  Probably not since King Kong (which I loved), so I'm looking forward to this.  There's good talent involved and good source material.

Frankly, every movie should have one cannibal character, but you never really know who it is.  Like, you're 75% of the way through Knocked Up when Paul Rudd walks in on his wife digging into Jay Baruschel's dismembered corpse.  That would be memorable at the very least.

It's interesting that you feel that the Cavendish scenes are a letdown compared to the science fiction parts.  In the book, the Cavendish parts are the highlight.  Of course, the future parts play more to the strength of the Wachowskis.
