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.
For the two or three Buffistas who will appreciate this (hayden being one), I was just listening to the commentary track on ALFREDO GARCIA and they were talking about how Sam Peckinpah had two actors in the back of his head to play Benny....Warren Oates (natch) and...PETER FALK!
Bad-ass. I actually can't imagine anyone other than Oates in that role, but Falk would've brought the Cassavetes-style intensity.
I haven't posted here in ages!
I saw Steamboy over the weekend, and while the visuals are of course spectacular, the story reeeeallllly dragged. As FAQ Girl put it, the film outstayed its welcome.
Don't know if this has been posted yet: [link]
Anyone want to do a Mejia?
I watched "The Breed" this weekend.
Boy, bad, terrible, stinking, rotten are words that don't even come close to describing this movie.
Even the worst episode of Angel is miles better than this.
Also, saw a bit of "Anonymous Rex" on Scifi -- very silly.

That will only take the next five years.
The Passion just shipped from Netflix.
I'm kinda looking forward to seing it.

Notice the common denominator though?
Bai Ling...
I saw Cursed this afternoon. Despite some goofy moments (the wolfed-out golden retriever, the completely assholish wrestler who instantly turned into Helpful Sensitive Guy when he came out) it was pretty clever and entertaining. Weirdly, Joshua Jackson looked like he was caught in the midst of a transformation into Wes Bentley, and the look was workin' for him. Rowwrrr.
What did you think of her crazy eye makeup?
From now on, really crazy eye makeup is going to be called "doing a Bai Ling".
Anyone want to do a Mejia?
I am tempted, but I value my time spent doing less painful things.
I was joking, you know....
Yeah, but I was curious to see if I could find any patterns. After doing a quick test of the feasibility - the A's up through "Attack of the [various and sundry scary things]," about 150 title screens, I decided it would truly be impossible. And, also, no noticeable pattern. Gotta wonder if there's a big user-submitted website out there with title screens of films, of if he actually got ahold of the, apparently, 3000+ movies in there and captured them himself.
