'War Stories'
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 BONUS!!!--CORPSE BRIDE TRAILER!!!! HOT DAMN!!!!
Dear PTB,
I have been a very good goth girl, and not stabbed any of my co-workers with hatpins. Please let include a trailer for Corpse Bride when I go see Charlie & the Chocolate Factory tonight.
Thanks bunches!
Too bad Ewan and Christian and Jonathan were all so damned ugly and undesirable.
Yeah, that is a pity.
sigh.
What? Drooling, you say? No, no, not at all. Ahem.
You know, we must not forget that horrible hag, Toni Collette, when thinking of Velvet Goldmine. Such a shame that movie was filled with unattractive naked people getting their groove on...
t wipes away drool puddle.
You know, we must not forget that horrible hag, Toni Collette,
That talentless warthog!

Hec, I know! And she has such a ghastly set of hooters!
Almost as horrible as those sported by Asia Argento.
Triumph of the human spirit, mos def. Them dragging all that ugly around and being brave enough to insist somebody look.
Corwood -- Ah, yes, you're right; I don't think we actually disagree. Cool!
He has to prove to himself that being a bastard to the world is alright as long as you're not one to your compadres. I mean, he's wrong, but that's how I read that fucking incredible look on his face in those couple of seconds between shooting Mapache and shooting the German.That. Yeah. It's as noble as he can get, but it's the self-awareness of it that makes it, for me.
Also:
Jonathan Lethem edited a lovely anthology of amnesia fiction called, uh (looking up on Amazon), the Vintage Book of Amnesia Fiction. Check it out. I especially love Dennis Potter's contribution.Eep. I love Potter and Lethem. Need this now.
Also, Strega, do you know if TWOP is ever going to recap The Wire?I don't know that we absolutely won't, but I'd be kind of shocked. We don't pick up shows that been on for a while anymore; it's way too hard to catch up and cover the episodes we missed if it's been on air for more than a season.
I just reread a story by Bester that definitely shows clinging to a memory as a bad thing, but it was more about neurosis than altering memories.

Just in case someone doesn't know, this is an Ed Wood movie that's often been labeled "the worst movie of all time." And very fun too.
