I think I need to see that movie.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jessica, you're lying. No movie could possibly be that good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't listen to her. Amazon pairs that movie with Freaks. That's gotta mean something.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I heard about The Apple a while ago. It definitely sounds worth seeing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I've seen The Apple, or at least part of it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
It was made in 1980, but was just released today on DVD, and is only $13 at Amazon.
It's also been making the rounds at theaters that still do midnight movies. I think it was at Coolidge Corner last weekend, in fact.

Of special interest: David Boreanaz's next role? and (Plei go SQUEE!) a Harold and Kumar sequel! Also, (all but three of us go GROOAN) a possible Unbreakable sequel?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That is heartening indeed! DH and I were thinking that this is the kind of thing that should be seen by large groups of people at midnight. Singing along and in costume, if possible. Lyrics like
It's a natural, natural, natural desire.
Meet an actual, actual, actual vampire.
Let the apple set your soul on fire, fire, fire, fire.
should not be sung alone.
MY MOTHER WAS A MONORAIL!
Given how the shots of the monorail pulling into the station match up with some of the other lyrics, you may want to rethink that statement. (Also, you especially must see this movie.)
Also, one of the actors is named Joss. This becomes monumentally amusing in the last 5 minutes of the film for reasons I will not reveal because you really just have to see it.
