Buffy ,'Get It Done'
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 just saw "Reefer Madness," the musical
Kristen Bell is in that, too! Yay Veronica!
Also, I just got back from the midnight showing of Sin City.
I am well pleased. VERY well pleased.
Considering the buildup I gave the film, this much satisfaction should be impossible.
I like this quote from the review just linked:
"Sin City is like a must-have coffee-table book for your interior torture chamber."
Kristen Bell is in that, too! Yay Veronica!
I was all confused for a second because I was like, "I could've SWORN I mentioned that. I love her!"
There's also a funny song about Shakespeare. A creepy animated song about brownies. And Jesus is awesome, particularly his shiny gold cowboy boots. Oh, and John Kassir is in it (I think that's his name). He's Julie Benz's husband.
Seriously, if you have Showtime, watch it. And record it to share with others who are less fortunate.

And the voice of the Cryptkeeper!
This bit of a review of Sin City cracked my shit up:
...any movie that makes Brittany Murphy palatable must be amazing...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So true!
Another funny Sin City review excerpt: ""Mickey Rourke blows me away with his acting and Elijah Wood creeps the hell out of me? I swear to God, I don't understand the universe anymore."
Elijah Wood creeps the hell out of me?
When I was visiting Teppy and SA, we watched Eternal Sunshine. During the first part of the film, when we were still trying to figure out WTF was going on, one of SA's first comments was "Elijah Wood is a sick little fuck, isn't he?"
From Slate:
I loved it. Or, to put it another way, I loved it, I loved it, I loved it. I loved every gorgeous sick disgusting ravishing overbaked blood-spurting artificial frame of it.
Manohla Dargis in the Times hated it, found it both boring and insulting. She was almost as entertaining as Elvis Mitchell at his best, and I say that advisedly.
Yes, Tarantino is the obvious direction for Preacher.
