I've lost all interest in seeing War of the Worlds. It's a pity, too, because I love alien movies. On another board, some people are planning to boycott the movie to show their displeasure with TC and donate the would-be ticket money to Spielberg's Shoah foundation.
We'll be in our bunk.

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.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

Cool, sounds like a good alternative plan.
While the Katie Holmes thing is distasteful to me, it's also kind of entertaining in a train wreck sort of way. But Cruise's uncalled-for attacks on Brooke Shields, crackpot claims that may discourage gullible people from seeking medical help, and general arrogance when dealing with anyone that doesn't kiss his ass have moved him into Mel-Gibson-Never-See-Another-Dime-of-My-Money territory.

I loved Peter Lorre in M.
I loaned my tape of it to two of my co-workers, German twins born in the last year of WWII (one of the twins was lucky to survive since there were no working incubators at the hospital when they were born, due to Allied bombing). Since they grew up in post-war West Germany, I expected them to at least be familiar with the film, even if they hadn't seen it. But, they'd never even heard of it! When they finally got around to watching my tape, they were both blown away by it, especially Lorre's performance.

Another Peter Lorre fangirl here!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is March of the Penguins out? It's not playing anywhere in Chicago.

Hey. New board.
Saw Mysterious Skin today. It was very disturbing, and had some consistency issues, but was mostly very well done. The acting was especially notable, especially the main guy whose name I'm currently forgetting.
MT should always be a goth girl, but next time it should be in a movie I can enjoy the look, less surrounded by the pain.

Penguins is opening relatively slow, according to their website. Chicago's not getting it for two more weeks--it's only in NY and LA right now.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Tommyrot - That article forgot some of the (admittedly few) actually good ones. The Addams Family movies were spectacular - better than the show ever was. And, of course the Star Trek movies.
I also hear there's something coming out in September, based on some little watched quickly cancelled sci-fi show. It's gonna bomb.
