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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

For an oldie-but-goodie horror spoof, I remember liking Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein, with appearances by Dracula and the Wolf Man, IIRC. I remember seeing it when I was in junior high and giggling pretty much nonstop. It might be less funny now, though.

With an evil hand! The original evil hand!

You slight the original Mad Love with Peter Lorre.

Only because I know no better. But I should remedy that.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I watched Ed Wood last night (I'd seen it before). What a great movie. Martin Landau is so fabulous in it. Plus Juliet Landau!

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

You know, I read this:

Ben Affleck has made an astonishing swipe at long-term pal, director Kevin Smith - accusing him of exploiting teenage fans of his cult films. Affleck has appeared in five of Smith's films, starting with 1995's Mallrats and most recently this year's Jersey Girl. But Smith was reportedly upset Affleck snubbed the DVD launch of Jersey Girl - and Affleck has hit back while publicizing new movie Surviving Christmas. He told The Scoop, "It wasn't enough that I went to Vegas to play in his lame charity poker tournament for the DVD launch of Jersey Girl, but I also had to go out to his f***ing store where he's opening a store where all he's doing is selling more T-shirts of him and his jacka** friend (Jason Mewes) and he's roped in an entire generation of kids into thinking it's worth spending $30 on and $50 if he signs it. I mean the whole thing is a complete travesty and he wanted me to participate in it and I won't do that."

And thought Ben was losing it.

But I just visited one of the stores (to buy comics), and damn, Ben was being kind. I'm a bit skeeved by Mr. Smith right now. The store was a strange combo of sterile and masturbatory.

I can't even.

That sounds to me like the way those guys take shots at each other for the publicity and ironic macho bullshitting, then snicker about how they rooked the press again (which I'm perfectly alright with).

Coincidentally, I just bought a ticket to this:
