Xander ,'Lessons'
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.
And I stand by my Buying Houses In Movies Almost Always A Very Very Bad Idea argument.
See Also: The Money Pit, Ummm.... other movies where people buy homes and Bad Stuff happens. (Can't really remember others right now, but I know there's lots of them)
Ok, scary(ish) movie title needed. I think it's something like Gate oto Hell or something with Gate. Anyway, basically, a hellmouth opens up in thsi backyard and these teeny little evil demon guys, that you're totally supposed to be afraid but aren't cause-so cute, come running out and terrorize kids.
Darby O'Gill and the Little People?
Okay, that was a joke.
I love that movie. Fucked up, though. Also, check your mail.

The Gate! Which had its world premiere screening in Hell, Michigan.
Panic Room.
(Another don't-buy-a-house movie, not the Gates to Hell.)
other movies where people buy homes and Bad Stuff happens.
Pacific Heights. Creepy Michael Keaton!
Duplex. Couldn't bring myself to see it. The bad stuff that happened turned out to be making a movie with Drew Barrymore, Ben Stiller and some evil old lady.
Things turned out OK with the house in Miracle on 34th Street, although technically, they didn't buy the house, it was a present from Santa.
Polterigiest is don't buy a house built on an Indian burial ground.
