Uhh, when it could be held against me...

Or me. He is one guy that has plenty to go around. Mmmmm....

I was channel-surfing late at night yesterday and came across last third of Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments special. Not the best thing to be watching at 1 am by yourself in a pitch dark house.

I'm very surprised that Carnival of Souls didn't make it to that list, which IMO beats the pants of Jaws (#1) in insidious creepiness (although not in the BOO! scary way). The list has me kind of curious about Audition (at #11), which I've never even heard of before. Netflix has it, but I'm not sure whether I'd have the stomach for the climax, which supposedly contains disturbingly graphic torture scenes. I like non-gory horror and have high tolerance for the creepy, but graphic torture? Dude, I don't know.

I tivo'd the 100 Scariest Moments special and soo can't wait to watch it.

The contradictory evidence seemed predicated on the fact that he was huge and bald

How horribly prejudicial.

I finally saw Shrek 2 last night. It was all right. Some very funny bits, but I understood the criticisms about it being so pop-culture-heavy. The pop-culture jokes didn't seem as organic. The first movie did a lot more with fairy tale humor, which fit, but a lot of the pop-culture in the sequel took me out of the story for a second because it didn't seem to make sense for the characters in this world to know it.

Some of the best gags included: the people running from one Farbucks to another Farbucks; the name Versarchery; Knights, especially the pepper grinders; "Sir Justin," which only my friend and I got as we were watching in the company of families and small children; the usage of Pinocchio's nose; the wolf blowing the fairy godmother away; and...probably some other stuff.

One thing that gave me pause was the notion of babies forming in a kids' movie. Clearly, the little children weren't trying to fathom the mechanics of donkey/dragon sex, but, uh, we were.

You do not want to go there. Takeshi Miike is a madman, and the bits you saw during the show....nothing close to what you're going to get with the real thing. The bit with the leg? Miike showed the whole thing.

The Japanese are strange - no genetalia (at least outside of anime), but the most heinous, sadistic violence (often with a sexual compenent) = fun for the whole family.

I just got back from seeing The Incredibles.

I cannot describe how much in love I am with this movie. It is easily one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen. I was grinning like an idiot throughout the whole thing, except when I was laughing my ass off.

I cannot wait for more Buffistas to see this, since I wanna discuss.

There are no "out-takes" or anything after the credits, but the closing credits are worth watching in and of themselves.

Literally, in the case of In The Realm Of The Senses.

I love the Incredibles. I had a big happy goofy grin on my face. Nice and funny, funny and nice.

Yeah. I read a few reviews and several people were hinting at something about piano wires, and... what was served up by my imagination was horrific enough. I was mainly interested because several reviewers said it had interesting (if extreme) things to say about gender politics, but OK, it sounds like I'd be better off giving it a pass.

Just got back from The Incredibles.

Loved it like a crazy person. I want my very own Edna.
