Have a nice holiday, Chris 
I'm not too bothered by seeing Forbidden Kingdom but I did catch the title sequence which looked very nice. I was told the film has some connection with the Monkey legend, which does make me more intrigued but I think you might be right in that it's been designed too much for the Western audience.
I'm looking forward to Hell Boy II but we have over a month to go before that one is released here. I need to re-watch the first Hell Boy film too because I wasn't overly-keen first time round, but this second one sounds much more promising and of cause bodes well for The Hobbit.
Don't spoil us too much with The Dark Knight Yrol  I wish they were going for a simultaneous world wide release with that one but with Wall-E out officially next week I guess they didn't want a clash. But on that note I will try and see Wall-E next week. We actually received our copy on Wednesday but I didn't get to rehearse it.
The Clone Wars film will be the first three episodes combined into one edit. I'm pleased they are having this big cinematic launch for it, but I do think it's purely to rake-in some extra cash. I'm hoping nearer the release date I'll get more excited about it. Sounds like you're making a nice event out of it though Yrol. I might try and jazz our cinema up Star Wars style for the big day, although I'm actually on holiday for the release day, lol. If it plays digitally, then I can make a CD for our digital auditorium and maybe even play our fanfilm before hand

Is Clone Wars basically the new TV series uncut into a film version?
Or is the film an extended pilot for the series?
You could say it's an extended pilot for the show. The movie release of the Clone Wars is basically one story arc, that would normally be over the course of 3 or 4 22 min episodes. I've heard it's clocking in around the 2 hour mark. After that, the TV series kicks off here in November - a half hour show every week for approx. 20 weeks. Of course, international release dates will vary - we're just lucky to get the simulcast from the US. The TV series will not just focus on the main characters as well - which will make it really interesting to watch!

THE DARK KNIGHT
There are simply NO words to describe the intensity, insanity and absolute splendor that is this movie.
10 outta 10.
Did NOT disappoint. All hail the BATMAN!
That's all I'm gonna say

I had a good feeling you'd love it Yrol, but I wasn't expecting such a glowing summary than that!! I really don't know when I'll actually see it for the first time, but this coming Wednesday is a strong possibility. Now I can't wait!!
I did, however, see Wall·E today and I luved it!! So much so that straight after I headed to the Disney store and purchased not one but two Wall·E toys, lol.
I think you could split the film into two parts. I was always concerned that the film would begin to fall apart when the humans came on the scene, but it didn't. While the first-half is a masterpiece, the film as a whole was such a pleasure. Visually stunning, great nods to Silent Running (well, more then a nod, this could be classed as an unofficial sequel), 2001, ET and Short Circuit. The fact that there is hardly any dialogue is one of the major highlights, and the interaction between Wall·E and EVE was just wonderful. I think this has to be my current favourite Pixar film.
I can see why you've seen it so many times Yrol. And Jamie, I know you usually wince in pain when the word animation is mentioned, but would you give this a go?? Seriously, it's far and beyond an animation.
And now onto Watchmen news; the trailer is up at empireonline.com
WOW!!!! With this and The Dark Knight, I think we've been spoilt badly.

The Disney store have lots of Wall·E figures, and they're all very good and come in various sizes. I got myself two of them
I might see TDK tonight, if not then tomorrow. Or I might wait until next Tuesday at the IMAX....... I really don't know what to do

I opt for which ever one is most comfy, it feels long near the end.
Bit like return of the king but with less endings

We went to the 3:30 show and left at 6:10 and that was at the start of the credits. Certain things could have been cut out as towards the end I could feel the length of the movie.

Jeannette is talking about the 152 minutes of The Dark Knight, Jamie
For now I've decided to make my first proper viewing on Tuesday at the IMAX. It feels like the right thing to do because I want to experience it with a big crowd and not having to worry about anything. I just have to avoid watching any of it until then, which shouldn't be too big a problem 
We received our Watchmen trailers today
Sadly it's not attached to nay films yet

A shame you have to wait that long but I think you're doing the right thing Matt. We saw Batman the other night at the IMAX and visually it made a big difference and enhanced the overall experience. The film is just awesome... no other word for it.
Too long Jeannie? I felt the time fly by.. I didn't want the film to end. I wish it was 252 minutes instead. :-)

Good, you all seem pretty happy about the Batman movie. We are going Sunday night. An old friend of mine is coming over for a week tomorrow. We were considering it in the IMAX cinema but there are no tickets until about August 5th so we decided against it.
I don't mind long movies as long as they keep me entertained. Fortunately my stomach is getting better from the bug I picked up in Hungary. It kept me going to the loo way too often for the last week and today was the first free day. Tomorrow I should be able to handle the large popcorn and coke. 
Thanks for the good wishes, Matt. Holiday was good, I passed my aikido grading (while ill). Now the only thing I want to do is rest. Wait, isn't that what holiday was for?
