The Court Jester
Would you believe I have had my TiVo trying to catch this movie for two years now and it's never turned up? Sob! I know it used to show up on AMC, back when AMC ran older movies.
Old trusty soda machine. I push you for root beer, you give me Coke.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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 was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

The Hidden Fortress and Star Wars
I've done this. It's fun. I didn't really see a lot of resemblance, to be honest, but I didn't see a lot of resemblance between City on Fire and Reservoir Dogs either.
AMC is running three Marlowe movies back to back this weekend. It's driven all other possible double features from my mind.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The Deep End
Sigh. Such a good film. I haven't come across many people who have watched it. Tilda Swinton! The Hot Doctor Luka! Moral Ambiguity! I have to track down The Reckless Moment. Max Opuls and James Mason! Can't believe I haven't watched it yet.
Picnic at Hanging Rock and A Passage from India always struck me as having the same thematic undertones. The backsdrop of colonialism, sexual hysteria, and the terrible and the beautiful of the unknown. I am betting a film student or two did a paper comparing the works of E.M. Forster an Peter Weir during his Australian period.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Now for some reason I want to watch both those movies at the same time.
