You all know that the TV show that was done of Hitchiker's... (and, whatever else it might not have done right, the actor playing Arthur Dent was perfection - the issues I have with the rest I just think of as an homage to Dr.Who and let it go) is available on DVD, right?
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Alas, a bad movie: White Noise . Save yourselves. Don't go. It was like they hired three writers to each do a script based loosely around a cool, spooky concept and then they filmed parts of each one and stuck them together. It was not scary, and it made no sense. I'm disappointed; I wanted to be scared. What a waste of a good idea.

Oh, duh. Missed the "tv" in there. Too much skimming. No biscuit.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What a waste of a good idea.
Was it a good idea? It seemed like a cheap knockoff of The Ring and The Sixth Sense.

The idea being the EVP stuff. Which seems like a good idea for a horror movie to me because it freaks me way the hell out.
I couldn't say it was even a cheap knockoff of either of those movies. It brought neither to mind.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Huh. I've just found a movie I had to turn off before the halfway point.
Elf.
I know it got decent reviews, and a lot of people liked it, but man... it was PAINFUL.
Now I have to find something else to watch.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh dear. I just got it from Netflix.

So did we. I'd heard good things...
But I started twitching early on, and couldn't stop.

I have no desire to find a copy of Mostly Harmless, though.
I liked it much more than So Long..., but I read it twice in a row, and there are some stealth jokes that only make sense if you know what's going to happen later. It's more like a Dirk Gently book than H2G2, with fewer one-liners and more jokes that are almost puzzles.
I mean, I get why it's not to everyone's taste, but that sort of thing is catnip for me. [insert "Why I liked Sahjhan" dissertation here]
