1. I don't know why they keep remaking the same classical books, and never do any different ones. You know they're doing another version of "Little Dorrit", yet I've never seen a film version of "Martin Chuzzlewit."

2. Sark looks hot, as usual.

3. That "Happening" trailer is odd. So it's just the umpteenth version of "Pulse" or "Signal" or "The Suicide Club"? I've officially lost interest in the film. I thought it was supposed some environmental sci-fi thing.

4. Anything that combines Simon Pegg and Nick Frost is good.

5. I saw it today, and I can confirm that the new Indy film is awesome. If you didn't like the first 3, or either "National Treasure" film, then you won't like this film either. But if you liked those films, or "The Librarian" series, then you will like this film too.

5. "Benjamin Button" looks stupid. "Australia" looks decent. The Simon Pegg movie looks to be as embarassingly bad as his last movie, with David Schwimmer.

3. Ah, didn't see any plants in the trailer. Must've missed them.

5. I don't know what you mean. The ending is a little silly, but it hardly ruins the movie.

6 It just looks to me that they've turned a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerland into a big budget episode of the The Twilight Zone. But I could be wrong. I love anything with Cate.

5. i guess i'll just wait for the dvd then. i'm entirely too poor to see much of anything in theaters, and i literally am scraping together so i can go to a midnight screening of the dark knight.

because i am that poor. fuck.

6. hmm. do you know what collection of stories "button" would be in?

...in my old copy of "Tales of the Jazz Age."

Although I'm sure it has appeared in many other collections in the last 80 years.
