Yeah, Anne Hathaway doesn't do it for me.

And I have no problem with her knobby knees.

Me too. She's sort of got a Mouth of Sauron thing going. Well, that's pretty cold-hearted. Mostly, I feel like I walk by her a dozen times a day. She's one that I'm surprised by with the generated slobber.

this is the first time I've braved this thread since DKR came out (I haven't read a thing anyone's said except for searching for "Cloud Atlas" and am happy thrill beat me to the link). Anyway, Wow, Cloud Atlas. Dammmmmmn.

yeah, that looks cool as hell.

I knew when I saw that scene in one of the Matrix sequels where the albino dreadlock twin was doing kung fu that Hugh Grant and the Wachowskis were made for each other.

I'm not one to worry about the sanctity of books being urinated on by movies (and I liked Cloud Atlas but wasn't totally blown away or anything). But I don't know how this one is going to work. We'll see. Could be good I suppose.

I've never heard of Cloud Atlas before, but from watching the trailer, it looks like that's a lot to shove into a movie with, what Wikipedia says, is a two hour run time.

[Vidor]

Presumably this is a comic book movie?

[The Third Man]

Nah, it's a novel. A very very well-regarded one, apparently. I'm completely unfamiliar with it.

Just got out of DKR. 2 things:

It was pretty depressing to have to open my bag for cops on the way into a matinee. Cannot fault nypd's care, though. Hats off.

The movie was pretty stupid, and I doubt I'll see it a second time. I was bored for a good hour. I may have disliked it even more than cpebbles. I had every corny 'plot twist' picked out before I walked in, and many scenes were Transformers 2 level insulting. That cop charge. Good god.

Nolans worst movie, by far, in ny opinion.

[cpebbles]

To clarify, I wouldn't even say that I "disliked" it. It was far from great and I'd probably agree that it was Nolan's worst movie (Which I probably would've given to Batman Begins previously), but I'd still give it like a 6.5 out of 10.

The really annoying part is that it had such brilliant potential to explore Batman's broken emotional status and the price all of the principles have paid for his actions, but it just touched on the issues before turning into a comic book/action hero movie. I just wish I could go back in time a few years to when Nolan was riding high off the successes of The Dark Knight and Inception and sell him on the idea of an existential Batman movie.

[Maclowery]

Hell, I'll go so far as to say I disliked it. I thought the opening action setpiece was great, and can't think of a single other scene in the movie that I enjoyed. The last ten minutes were probably thrilling, but I was so tuned out by the last hour and a half of deus ex machina and contrivance that it didn't matter to me anymore.

The best part of the last 90 minutes was my pee break. /rant over, apologies to fans.
