Yeah, I read those plot summaries too. I think it's because I'm such a pussy though - horror films generally have a concept which is terrifying in your mind, but less scary when you actually see it. So it's as though somehow knowing what's in the film will somehow protect you from it.

Someone should explain to her that you're supposed to stick (shtick?) to the same gimmick. Stacy started off channeling Burl, and now she's Tarkovsky's Former AD by way of an episode of Loose Women. Get a direction, woman.

For me, the most common one is just that the trailer is full of titillating almost-nudity and lingering curves. Seriously buster, if the best thing you can say about your film in 30 seconds is that it has some innuendo and there might be (omg!) a boob in it, then your film sucks.

Let us all take a moment to remember the career of Harrison Ford, which sadly died this year. Once one of Hollywood's bulletproof greats and father of a thousand inappropriate man-crushes, now upstaged as a doctor by a British comic with a tennis ball, and second billing to George of the Jungle.

Ok, slightly off topic, but I went to see The Fifth Element at the cinema and was a bit shocked at (as I remember it) one of MJ's first scenes, in which she's clearly topless for several seconds (albeit slightly out of focus). I remember thinking that was pretty racy for a PG-rated film. I just wondered if that…

Way to blow your witness protection cover, RagingBear.

Umm… has anyone here seen a Christmas movie called DIE HARD?

I have to ask…
… just what does "crucial but not vital" mean?

Agreed - I think Mezzanine's a much more suitable sountrack to someone being burned alive than people getting it on… and now I'm going to hear Angel in my head every time I see a failed firstie.

I'm still probably not going to bother seeing this…
… but it just went up in my estimation when I saw the first clip above and discovered that the Autobots sound like Killface. Please tell me the Decepticons sound like the Xtacles?

Sure I had a mom and two sisters. Yours, in fact.

The T-1000 had it right up to the point where it decided to take the time to wag its finger at Sarah Connor… WHY?!

Can't help ya, Clueless - I'm stumped too. I mean, even Be11onna managed to get her schtick to go somewhere by about the 120th post.

No, stage 10 is not saying anything when you someone eat it.

What are saying, Fireball? Is there something wrong with us being turned on by Isis's mother-in-law?

@Erik: you may have got that firstie past the others but you can't fool me. Die in a CGI montage of your flailing avatars melting in a steel mill.

I loves the AF, but for some reason Wake Up never sounds quite as epic to me as it's trying to be. It feels as though it needs something, like some sort of wistful note to give it some bittersweet edge. Then again, I think it was kinda ruined for me when I played it to my ex (who also loves AF), and she said it…

Bil94134 doesn't like people who are patronising or condescending. Huh.

@Merk - genius.

Word, MBR. I wasn't baked but thought it was much better than it looked, especially considering that it's a director's pet project (which would explain the unnecessary extra half-hour). At least Pandora is very well imagined and executed - I honestly couldn't tell what was props, what was post-prod, and what was CGI…
