I am on your side in that that's a terrific gut-punch of a movie idea, just that it's not the right idea to tack onto Gravity. Which, as Darth P said, is built from the ground up as a story about rebirth and the will to live.

On the other hand, that OTHER movie is built from the ground up as a tale about how risk is necessary for mankind to progress, even though that means some of our attempts will fail.  So the ending fits.

I assume Avatar meant there's no actual firing happening tho.  Which I hope not, since no one's wearing ear protection. smile

Well, now Patton Oswalt and other Twitterati have a hold of this one, so Shia's gonna be in internet jail for a bit.

Those are 4x4 double-net flags, usually they get hung up in front of lights to soften the output a bit.   In this case I think your guess is most likely correct- they're cutting the sunlight so the camera op can see his screen better.

Philosopher + Sorcerer = Philoserer

Personally I would have gone with Philocerer, but that's me.

I'm all for melodrama with 'splosions, I just don't want it to come in the form of another fucking Batman or Avenger movie.   Edge of Tomorrow may or may not have a great story, but at least it's a story I haven't already heard.

Looks good to me, and I like Liman's stuff in general.  Cautiously optimistic.

btw, "Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise" sounds like the title of a syndicated talk show that would air around 2 AM.

Not sure I've ever seen all of Brain Donors, but I know I've seen some of it.

Is there a sight gag where one of the characters crosses his fingers and they're all twisted up in an impossible way?

That's also possible.  It'll probably get a few acting nominations as well, especially Oprah for Supporting Actress, which she deserves.

Quick update: Inside Llewyn Davis is a fun little piece of work - with a good shot at a cinematography nomination and maybe a few others - but not amazing enough to change my Top Five.
