I saw Black Cat, or at least part of it, at Dragoncon.(They had a HK movie room) My own OTT-o-meter went off after the wedding massacre.

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.
Well, crap. I just found out that I'm going to have to see Uwe Boll's House of the Dead 2 after all, as Mike Massa is doing the stunts and Rob Hall the makeup. Knowing that sequels are usually mere shadows of the original films, where does that put us with House of the Dead as the starting point in quality?
The Onion reviews The Apple: [link]
Yay!
Very nice.
I would just like to point out, from that review, that this:
Vegas-style production numbers (featuring clowns, little people, and/or magicians) are constantly threatening to break out.
happens once. Most of the Vegas-style production numbers are entirely magician/little people/clown-free.
Also from the review, but whitefonted:
Sheybal takes the young lovers to what appears to be a Broadway version of hell, where Stewart is serenaded by a strapping, g-string-clad fellow who sings the immortal couplet "It's a natural, natural, natural desire / To meet an actual, actual, actual vampire." Gilmour experiences a psychedelic disco freak-out after his drink is drugged and he encounters scores of homely transvestites rendered in trippy kaleidoscope vision. Then he falls in with a tribe of cave-dwelling hippies, reunites with and impregnates the chastened Stewart, and is led into an extraterrestrial paradise by a white-suited supreme being, in what's either the best or worst ending of all time.
Damnit, I never got to see the ending, since Sean and I got scared, and now I'm spoiled.
and now I'm spoiled.
Not possible. Trust me.
and now I'm spoiled.
Not really. Don't worry. That information will have no effect on your viewing of the film up until that point. Really.
Matt, at least certain things will look very cool. So who cares about the plot?
