Just so long as I can hear the screams.
Of course.

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.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Robbie Williams as Dougal? Robbie fucking Williams as fucking Dougal? Jesus, way to rape my childhood...
The way I see it, Jim, is if they got the character's name wrong (it's Dugald, not Dougal), then they probably got the actor's name wrong. Well, we can hope.

Agreed. May your no longer Snuggle soft sheets haunt your sleep!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Bought some new DVDs yesterday--Airplane, Amadeus, and To Kill a Mockingbird. TKaM has a wonderfully lyrical documentary on it, probably done for the laser disc release at the end of the 1990s. Funniest trivia was that the boy who played Jem really did not get along with Mary Badham, who played Scout. In fact, in the scene in the beginning of the film when she gets into the tire and Jem pushes her towards the Radley house, he really tried to shove her toward a concrete wall in the hopes that she would die in the impact. Unfortunately, from his 13-year-old perspective, she survived.
Airplane disc is not so good--the only extra is the commentary, which is pretty lame, even though it has the Zuckers and some other guy all being very enthusiastic, but they run out of stuff to say about two-thirds of the way through.
Amadeus will be watched most likely tomorrow. I did see the documentary, which was good (I didn't know that Meg Tilly was originally cast as Constanza, but she was injured in a street soccer game with some Czech kids the day before shooting was supposed to start).

The Snuggle bear? But he's so cute, and well.....Snuggly, dammit.
And I'm sure he's just as cute and snuggly while stuffing wads of fabric softener down the throats of the damned in Hell, which he spends his time doing between commutes to make more commercials.
The people behind those ads could teach William Friedkin and Kôji Suzuki a few things about inventing creepy characters.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Even though I'm a huge Noah Baumbach and Wes Anderson fan, that looks even better than I thought it was going to be. A dream cast, too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Garden State is great. It's just lovely, and funnier than I thought it would be. I'm talking bent-over laughing funny. It's indie without being too indie. It didn't blow my mind or anything, but it's just so simple and sweet and speaking for itself (most of the time...there's only one scene I might criticize as being too verbose and unsubtle, and even then, I wouldn't be too harsh at all). And I've never seen Natalie Portman play a character this weird, so it was nice to see some range from her. Also, the directing is wonderful, as is the soundtrack (Frou Frou at the end!).
