  1. So wouldn't you agree that films like Strangers and Purge are more "art imitating real life" instead of the other way around, as you initially suggested?
  2. Have you heard of the Manson Family murders? Movies like Strangers have been heavily inspired from those tragedies which occurred in the 60's.
  3. Yes, because home invasion crimes and other sick things have never been committed before, ever.
  4. Yay, Cersei doesn't have to be destitute no more!
  5. She still had a couple of great moments. Also, she is supposedly superb in Paper Man, where the character is more flawed and more complex than her usual fare. I will watch that movie in a couple of weeks.
  6. Have you seen The Help? That scene where she confronts her mother is purely heartbreaking!
  7. Yes, in the alternate universe where DC has successfully launched their multi-movie spanning "Justice League" series, Iron Man tanked in 2008, Channing Tatum is box office poison, Jennifer Lawrence is a washed up nobody, and Taylor Kitsch is the second coming of Christ!
  8. She stole the show in The House Bunny too. And they say she was brilliant in Paper Man in a role which differs from her usual sassy comedic characters. That's the only Emma Stone movie I haven't watched yet. I wanna watch it so bad!
  9. ^She's no box office magnet, that's for sure.
  10. Hollywood can be big enough for two talented and appealing starlets. Though an Emma/JLaw movie should definitely happen.
  11. It would be nice if at least Book 6 came out before the show catches up to it. Then they could semi-improvise for the last season as that wouldn't matter much. I remember the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World being made before the last volume of the books came out. It worked because the movie ending and book ending were slightly altered but both were equally fascinating in their own way. I expect the same for GoT/ASoIaF.
  12. Interesting that audiences liked Unbreakable more than critics but critics liked Signs more than audience.
  13. Sounds cool. It has a great cast but I thought the story would let them down. Happy to know that isn't the case.
  14. I really love the way the show is developing the Tyrells, especially Margaery and the Queen of Thorns. I loved the Tyrells in the books but they were underdeveloped because we only saw other characters' views on them. Everything else was open to interpretation. But the show is taking my best suspicions about the family and making it canonically true. Hope House Tyrell's popularity on the show makes GRRM give them a more prominent role to play in the latter books.
  15. I still remember when my non-book reading friend was completely shell-shocked after Ned's death and was all "I CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE THEY DID THAT!!!!" and I was all, "Oh, you just wait..."
  16. Lol @ non-book reader reactions. How are they still not prepared for the worst after Ned beheading?
  17. Yes this. Most of the Bond girl characterizations of old are so LOL. Bond was pure, unadulterated male fantasy for a long, long time.
  18. That's what I am interested in. To see whether it can hit 400m before MoS arrives. I am rooting for it to do so.
  19. Yes, but it is still fun and exciting to see how soon it gets there.
  20. Must have IM3 number nao! The run to 400m is such a thriller.
  21. F&F when they brought back Vin and Paul together, along with Jordana Brewster. Fast Five was the franchise picking up speed after it was already turned in the right direction.
