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.

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

Why has this not been mentioned before?

If she'd said the movie was good, I'd've headed to the theatre. For diversions that sound well-suited to rewind, I head to Netflix.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I think it would make a great rental. The odd looseness of the structure wouldn't matter at home where you can stop it if you need a break.

Plus a couple of scenes definitely bear a rewatch.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

P-C, you should see The Third Man. One of the more delightfully cynical movies of its day.

I definitely want to, though I always get it confused with The Thin Man.

I don't remember much of the Theremin one. But there were Theremins in it.

There was a hilarious bit with Brian Wilson semi melting down.

Also a worthy movie, but I prefer the THIRD MAN. The Thin Man has an excellent detective team though. And a great dog.

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

I saw one of the Thin Man movies (forget which one). I liked it a lot, except for the racist sight gag involving the dog.

Hey. New board.
