It's been a while, but I remember this movie. The scene that stuck with me the most was at the end, when Rhodes has said some offensive things that "accidentally" got broadcast, and he's sitting in his fancy dining room, waiting for dinner guests that will never show up, ranting hysterically on the phone. It was that single broadcast that in one moment ruined his meteoric rise, proving that you can't just say anything you want and get away with it. Man, I gotta rent this now.

It's like, OMG, Twilight!!!!! It's tha'bomb!!!!

sigh... Maybe it's just 'cause I'm turning 38 in 2 months, but this sounds like it was more a popularity contest than a true awards show. My 11yo daughter's started watching MTV... this just makes me think I should turn on our V-chip and block it. lol

Oh I want sooo much to like it... but Order of the Phoenix was soooo disappointing, and we've got the same director... man this better be good!!

JL, I can see why you feel that scene drags, but that's pretty much what happens. It IS the middle of the scene, I think, so it's kinda out of context.

"but who doesn't like an extra billion dollars in their banks"
Which is why WB delayed the release - at the time, they didn't have a summer blockbuster. And yes it hacked off many of us, I hadn't heard about a boycott but it doesn't surprise me. OOTP was the longest book of the series, but the shortest movie so far. Crossing my fingers 'til they bleed that it's not a trend. I'm desperately trying to not get my hopes up too high, but HBP does indeed look good. I'm just hoping we'll see the Dursleys.

Splitting Deathly Hallows... I'm torn on this issue. The producers all say it's because there was no other way to fully tell the story - which they're right, there are no irrelevant subplots - but I think we all know WB saw a way to a) keep from REALLY pissing off the fans with a chopped-to-bits story, and b) (and more importantly) make a buttload more money. Which is what it's really all about. Making Return of the King into a 3-hour movie was a definite risk, but it paid off. Unfortunately that doesn't mean it ever will again. *shrugging*

"A now teenaged John Connor"... Well that explains part of my problem with T3... I never, for one second, believed Nick Stahl as John Connor, and if he was supposed to be a teenager, he was seriously miscast. I got the impression that was supposed to be a 20-something John. T3 left a bad taste in my mouth when I got around to watching it; there was only one decent scene in the entire movie (two if you count the semi flipping end over end). The original was the best, but T2 was an excellent follow-up.

That's actually a good thing! We don't need another epic fail as in Greedo shooting first! lol

This is yet another classic that does not need a remake. Don't mess with with the classics, and don't insult Pat Morita's memory.

That said, on the language barrier, the movie that's handled this best (IMO) was Red October. The Russian was subtitled for a while, then the camera panned up to focus on one character's mouth as he switched to English, implying that yes, they're still speaking Russian but now we can understand them. Then when Russians and Americans were in the same room, it was subtitled Russian again. But in a situation like this, it would be most realistic to have subtitled Chinese - that is, if the audience is supposed to understand what they're saying even if the hero can't. But if the hero can't understand them, then why would we? ...stopping before I get a headache

What Marge seems to need is a safe small enough to fit in her hair. But I think what Marge really wants is for Homer to have that crayon removed from his nose. Brainy, classy Homer - that would make her Mother's Day much easier.
