It's a pretty lame twist hinted at in the first scene (her plant glows like lava then explodes), made explicit in the 3rd scene (guy with dog tags glows like lava then explodes), then hammered home in the 26th scene when she double-crosses Pepper.  The only surprise is when she grows an 11th-hour conscience and tries

In 20 years are they going to officially make September 11 a national holiday.  Will it be called "9-11 Day"?

He didn't have much t'Ado in that movie though.

A decade ago, I spent three days in Oulu, Finland, (which is almost mythically gorgeous) and all the locals talked about was how the national pastime was drinking.  I said, "well, that's kind of the same throughout the western world, no?"  They just gave me a look which said, "you have no idea…"

Probably the performances most respectful of the source are the cartoon's Conroy and Hamill.

I was a late bloomer, and any media I consumed before I "bloomed" was colored by this.  Basically I found it difficult to relate to any teen character who got laid.  Hence, I kind of hated Catcher.

I have peers that are big into vinyl - still have whole rooms full of milk crates filled with albums, all of which have clear dust jackets.  And I admit that listening to them on a really nice, expensive stereo sounds kind of sublime.  But when they switch to a CD, the best analogy is that it's like when you apply

It payed off with Blu Ray, and maybe only bluray.

yeah, well MY friend Goo just goes "PU"

I hugely admire her, mostly for her prodigious talent, but also for bucking the trend on putting beautiful people on our screens at all costs.

possible reasons:(1) musicals are trickier to shoot, edit etc. because of the way that, in the end, it has to match the soundtrack.  So it burns way more film.
(2) there's a sizable cast/crew for this, and maybe lots of them insisted upon getting paid up front.

This is a fantastic movie…

I bought the scary dad guy, because nowadays everybody's a hard guy.  Guys with a slightly receding hairline now shave it to the scalp, and offset it with goatee.  Plus most american dudes are large and slightly plump. PTA meetings now look like a casting call for Taken 2.

To each his own, but to me, Jedi is an absolute hoot.

Though, to his credit, he does have one of those Jack LaLane physiques in the picture.

The thing is - they dub his distinctive voice with an old man (Roy Dotrice - whom I know as "The guy who read the entire "Song of Ice and Fire" books to me)

saturn 3 - rewatched it on a lark, and it's horrible.

As long as they cover her turn as "Colgate Toothpaste Lady"

I remember the same thing from when it came out - my big sister took me to it when I was 12.  And her and her boyfriend were cracking on the kid the whole way home.  I was still shaking from watching that guys head pop like he was one of those squeezy stress toys (the ones where the eyes bug out).
