And here I thought the upcoming Musketeer movie...

... was going to be the most cracktastic 'period' piece coming out in the near future.

Apparently, the John Cusack vehicle Poe movie wants to give it a run for its money:

To be fair -- what this movie actually wants to be is RDJ's Holmes movies.

... are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Obvious crossover potential is obvious!

Recall that back in April, I posted the Musketeer trailer here in my LJ, just to boggle at it, and made this icon especially for the occasion.

Regardless, I will have to go see it, of coures.

I forgot to mention to you, I finally saw Green Lantern. Man, that was not good. Every once in a while it would start to be cool and it's as if someone just off camera went "Shit, it's about to be cool, quick, switch to movie B! Or movie C! Or movie J!"

Seriously, does that movie have the WORST SCENE TRANSITIONS of any movie recently that was supposed to actually be somewhat good, or what? God.

Now you know about that specific cut I was talking about near the end where there's some scene with Hal and then it cuts to a long sweeping shot of Oa and you realize someone is zooming around (it could be any Lantern) and then the tracking continues and it transpires it's Hal. And you're like... no, the ending of the last scene did NOT in any way suggest that the next scene would show us him arriving on Oa, and what's more, it's NOT that kind of cool "let's fake the audience out slightly" thing you can actually get away with, you just LEFT SOMETHING OUT.

And the whole movie was like that.

The screenplay is just bizarre. Like, I can forgive the Star Trek Reboot for having tons of plot holes, because they're trying to get a variety of very difficult ducks in a row, what with introducing a new cast and rebooting the franchise and if the story has to contort to make all that work, so be it ( ... )
