Angel ,'Just Rewards (2)'
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.
I mean, are they remaking the parody?
Maybe they're just making a new one from the book.
Someone in the row behind me at my last movie outing bitched at the Bewitched trailer -- doesn't Hollywood have any new ideas? Which made me think that does it matter? Supposed Bewitched is a brilliant and enjoyable movie ... doesn't that count too? If not more?

Yes. Especially if it's good enough to spawn sequels Bothered and Bewildered.
Oh, dear God. How on earth did I not know about this Gaiman/McKean/Henson Workshop collaboration?
SO. PRETTY. It needs to be opening in San Francisco RIGHT EXACTLY NOW.
It just premiered at Sundance. Gaiman's been blogging about it.

Because you don't obsessively read Mr. Gaiman's blog?
I can't wait for it to open. I've been looking forward to it for ages and ages, it seems.
Mmm. It does look pretty.
This is going to a be a ridiculous movie year for me.
Because you don't (obsessively) read Mr. Gaiman's blog?
That would be it. I spend too much time here already; after several brief forays, I'm utterly convinced that my employment would not survive my unrestricted wandering about in LJland and the blogosphere, so if it's movie-related (or practically anything-else-related) and nobody mentions or links to it here or in Salon or the NYT, I don't know about it.
Stoopid workplace, always expecting me to do stuff for them just because they give me money.
Hmmm. Looks like TMBG are doing songs for Henry Selick's stop motion animated Coraline. And French and Saunders are scheduled for some of the old lady voices.
To which I say: Cool!
I hope the massive success of The Corpse Bride sparks a renaissance in gothy stop motion animation.

Please oh please oh please.
While watching Edward Scissorhands the other day, I thought, "Now the castle here is just about the most perfect goth setting ever." Then I thought about Halloweentown and Jack's house. Then I thought about the dilapidated zoo in the snow in Batman Returns. And, of course, the sets for the Lemony Snicket movie were all exactly perfect.
There really ought to be a Goth Town somewhere.
