'Safe'
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.
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.
Keith Richards joins the cast of PotC2.
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!"
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.
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.
I really hate historical epics making all previous empires into America wannabes.
You know this is a true sign of a country feeling insecure, when it starts looking to history and claiming great moments for itself.
I found a movie theater I can get to here! It's showing Resident Evil 2 for $8.00 a ticket. I'm about that desperate.
Haven't seen The Grudge, but the sound in Ju-On really upped the creepy factor. Oddly, things that seem to be emphasized as scare points (like the hand coming out of the back of SMG's head in the previews) were not nearly as effective as some of the more subtle bits.
I saw The Sea Inside last night, and while I didn't enjoy it as much as Abre Los Ojos or The Others, it's still very, very good. Javier Bardem is phenomenal. I'm curious to see if it gets a wide enough release to attract controversy.
[spelling fixed]
Javier Bardem=genius actor.
He's superb in Bad Education.
