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...

We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

That talentless warthog!

Hec, I know! And she has such a ghastly set of hooters!
Almost as horrible as those sported by Asia Argento.

Always Anti-fascist!
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Plan 9 from Outer Space has been released to the public domain and is available as a free download: [link]
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Which is worse: Plan 9 from Outer Space or Manos, the Hands of Fate ?

Plan 9, definitely. The creators of Manos actually had some competence. (eta: not to say that Manos has anything good about it - but you can tell that the people involved have been around a movie camera before.)
