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.
not so much from the visuals, but from the incredibly effective sound design.
To be fair, the black-eyed ghost faces emerging from darkness in the original and the Kyoko actress' crablike crawl down the stairs in both are pretty high peaks in the movies' creepiness. But I'll agree, that wooden creaking sound resulted in chills even when it was from a living character walking up the stairs .
We rented Dracula: Pages From a Virgin's Diary this weekend. I can't see how this wouldn't be a Buffista favorite (and it probably is). It's, uh, more or less Nosferatu (but not quite) as a ballet with extremes of goofy humor and powerful emotional displays. I'm not much of a fan of ballet or dance, but, y'know, this is a ballet about Dracula. With fleshpots and manly temptation.
Keith Richards joins the cast of PotC2.
The article cites the MIRB as the source -- I don't know what the MIRB is.
DHs interview with SMG -- mostly about The Grudge.
Who here has seen Bloody Sunday? I watched it over the weekend. It was the sort of film that made me want to go out and read primary and 2ary nonfiction sources.
Also, possibly, to hit the people involved on the head with aforementioned sources, especially if they are heavy.

Looking to save money on the skeletal special effects, are they?
He's playing Jack Sparrow's father. YEAH.

Bwah! My thought exactly: "Oh look, they won't need to use zombie makeup on Keith!"

Must. Own. This. MUST, I tell you!
(I wonder if there is anyplace I could buy it in time for this coming Saturday ...)
I feel so dirty. I stayed home snotty today and watched HP1 and 2 today. It was the first time I have watched the movies after getting into HP fanfic...it was disturbing seeing the characters as children when they have been all but in my imagination. You would think this would be enough to make me feel like a dirty ole woman, but no.
My son wanted to snuggle and watch a movie after dinner - his choice - The Borrowers. This is another movie I have not watched in YEARS...and seeing that sweet cherubic face, I feel soooooooooooo dirty.
Draco, my dear Draco.
