Spike ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
Did someone post the link to the Cthulhu plush slippers that Gaiman had posted earlier in his blog?
Neil's comment: "Quite how Great Cthulhu will react when he rises from his sunken grave and sees people wearing him on his feet, I hate to imagine. It'll be the end of the world, I expect. Then again, it would probably have been the end of the world anyway."
I think my favorite summation of the jilted genre comes from Chris Eigeman's character in Barcelona.
You think wedding vows are going to change everything? God, your naivete is astounding! Didn't you see "The Graduate"? The end? Katharine Ross has just married this really cool guy--tall, blond, incredibly popular, the make-out king of his fraternity in Berkeley--when this obnoxious Dustin Hoffman character shows up at the back of the church, acting like a total asshole. "Elaine! Elaine!" Does Katharine Ross tell Dustin Hoffman, "Get lost, creep. I'm a married woman"? No. She runs off with him--on a bus. That is the reality.
Okay, I've been poking around Dark Horizons, and from there to other links, and I'm now officially excited to see Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
I was before, because I loved the first movie (and I'm obscenely addicted to all of the video games, except the crappy first person shooter they made), but now I'm in the IT'S COMING SOON mode.
Which also reminds me that I never got around to finishing Resident Evil Code: Veronica X, which I should maybe put some time in on before I go to work this afternoon (just more freelance stuff).
Oh, and The Apple has been added to the list.
And after seeing Baseketball again on cable yesterday, I feel a real need to dig up Cannibal: The Musical, if I can find a copy anywhere.
You mean like here?
HA! Gandalfe, you rock.

Shouldn't you have said "shpradoinkle"?

I still haven't seen the first one, but I loved the teaser trailer for this one, which was cleverly disguised as a cosmetics commercial until I heard the words "Umbrella Corporation."
You should see the first one, P-C. If for no other reason than TWO different shots of Milla Jovavich almost completely buck-ass naked.

That's in addition to my thing for zombies. I've never played the games, but I love a good zombie movie. I don't know why. I may just like the word "zombie." And zombies really shouldn't be so scary because they're usually dim-witted and slow, but what's so unnerving about them to me is that they're dim-witted and slow. And dead. The dead part is a plus. It's the single-mindedness, the hunger for braaaaiiiiins above all else, the inability to reason with them, distract them with puns, seduce them with breasts. Also, they blow apart quite nicely.
