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.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

I love Event Horizon. It's one of the few movies that's truly scared me.

Hee. I don't feel so bad then. At the time I felt like an idiot for being terrified by something I could tell (even watching through my fingers) was a big steaming pile of melted Velveeta.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It probably doesn't make any sense, but it's damn creepy.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Oh, they freak me out, but in a good way.

no good freaking here. though every time i see the trailer for Apocalypse i can't seem to make myself turn away or change the channel. i liked the plot of Resident Evil, but my insane fear of zombies just makes it impossible for me to watch it alone or at night.

why I wanted to see Open Water so much

that's another one i'm going to have to wait to see. why? because that is totally something that can happen to anyone. *shudder*

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not so much advance as retro, Betsy, since it's been out for a while. (You do mean Hero, right?) I've heard it's glorious.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I went and looked up what Hero was about. Apparently, it is based on Chinese ancient history (like, when the various kingdoms unified for the first time), except for the part where ancient Chinese people probably could not fly.

Okay, Resident Evil lovers, why?? It is a movie of vast foolishness, compounded by immense silliness. Also, pointless symbolism. The only movie I can think of that used more gore and pointless symbolism to cover up its silliness was... Event Horizon.

Polter-Cow is dead to me, I think. The only way those movies can be entertaining is if you are hopped up on lots of (a) caffeine (b) liquor or (c) drugs of a more illicit nature. Or if you're, like, a pathologist.

I thought Resident Evil was fun, but it's one of those movies that is even better with the commentary. Michelle and Milla are hysterical.
