What was that movie and TV series that had the bald-headed aliens that had the blotches on their heads? Becase those aliens could be killed by water too (at least in the movie). Or maybe it was just saltwater?
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have a plan.
Triffids could be killed by salt water. But they're not bald, blotchey headed or headed at all. They're plants.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Alien Nation, and yeah, it was just saltwater if I remember correctly.

Now I understand the need for the viral marketing.
For this turkey to make money, the virus would need to be as infectious and compelling as the one in 28 Days Later. Their only hope is that it pays for itself during the first showing Friday night, before people exiting the theater can tell the ones coming in for the late show what happens.
She overacts Patience's flaky timidity and then, to compensate, overdoes catwoman's suave self-confidence, swinging her hips and pushing out her lips as if she were trying to attract the amorous attentions of Pepe le Pew.
I'm now visualizing the cartoon scene where the cat bathes in limburger cheese to become a match for Pepe, sets out in search of him, and wilts potted plants to the sides of the door when she makes her entrance. I suspect a similar odor will be emanating from Halle's performance.

Has anyone else read George Sanders' short story "Pastoralia"?
because that's what The Village sounds like to me now. Only it probably isn't funny. (Or about cavemen.)

Oddly enough, Mick LaSalle, the SF Chronicle movie guy, liked Catwoman. Huh.

It's really a movie about women. So tonight a million men will drag their girlfriends to see "Catwoman" and will walk out saying, "Wasn't that stupid?" but the women will know: It's not.
Um. Beg to differ.
