'Beneath You'
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.
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.

Yes, there should. If Buffista Island happens, it can go there.
Will you let me live there even though I don't like the music?
Don't forget about the Addams mansion - from the movie, not the show, of course.

Of course. Though you've already expressed liking for some Nick Cave and I'm pretty sure you'd love all the snarky gothy piano ballads mix I made, as they are (a) pretty (b) smart (c) somewhat wicked. All of which I associate with the Betsian aesthetic.

CDBaby - $10, I think. I sent you that mix, didn't I?
