I'll admit he was perfect casting for the Willard remake though.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In the early '90s I saw Crispen Glover do some weird multimedia presentation at First Avenue in Minneapolis. I don't remember much of it, but I liked it.
Crispen is cool, despite being crazy. I'll probably go see that movie....

I think I was the same tour. Was there a slideshow, and then a movie where he was obsessed with Xanadu?
Except I hated it.

There was a slideshow. Possibly a movie. I don't remember the Xanadu part - perhaps I repressed it.

This would have been sometime after the fall of 94, when I moved back from BC.

The thing I saw was before that - sometime between '90 and mid '93.

If I only had a brain...
I just got home from The House of Flying Daggers. The ending was like Romeo and Juliet, only much funnier.
Someday I hope to see a wuxia movie in which everybody survives and goes off to run tea-shops, train students, or possibly raise little martial arts masters.
Overview: Not as pretty as Hero, not as moving as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Some exquisite beauty, as usual. Some dramatic conventions that went so far over the top that I was laughing as people stabbed each other.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Saw a TiVo'd double feature from the '60s today.
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a French musical take on a story that Hollywood has done a hundred times (boy and girl fall in love, boy gets drafted and goes off to war). All the dialogue is sung, and the movie has more charm than the law should allow.
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines is a fun romp about a London-to-Paris air race, c. 1910. Lots of fun, if you like slapstick and have medium-to-high tolerance for national stereotyping. If you liked Rat Race or It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, you might like this one.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Betsy, I just saw it too and had pretty much the same reaction. One thing bothered me though we sawthe soldiers creeping up on the Dagger house, but never went back there HEREto see it resolved.
