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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Shaun of the Dead looks to be fun.

Got a rave in the local paper. Apparently a big hit in the UK.

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

And in this very thread, from me. Go see it! It's brilliantly funny.

I think Jessica saw that. Somebody here did, because there was also discussion about the TV series that it grew out of.

eta Heh! Should have just waited two minutes.

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

WTF?? Shaun of the Dead is not playing in Chicago?

eta: Stupid Yahoo Movies. It's playing in one theater, right downtown. Plus some theaters in the suburbs. Still, what's up with that?

Yes you may. (The better it does, the sooner NU can start using Zach as it's successful-alumnus poster child instead of David Schwimmer.)

Sod off - it's playing on the Magnificent Mile. Is is playing any place magnificent in SF?

Huh? Ebert reviewed it in the Sun Times and he doesn't do that if the movie hasn't opened yet (as opposed to his show where he does).

Yeah, I was relying on Yahoo Movies. Fandango found one theater in downtown Chicago.
