I remember the "Oh, my God, what happened to them?" reaction I had when Twin Peaks debuted, with both Riff and Tony thirty years older. Where did the time go?
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
After Boat Trip, just how bad would a movie have to be to be considered "lowering oneself"?
Snow Dogs.
Russ Tamblyn has had a very interesting career. He's also in the super cool JD film High School Confidential. In the late sixties he dropped out and painted and like that until Twin Peaks. I remember him guesting on the TV show Fame, where they used the 7 Brides clip as backstory on his character.

Kathy you weren't even alive when West Side Story came out.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Snow Dogs was bad, but unless there's some Vault of Horror type movie with Cuba in it that Ed Wood directed posthumously, I don't think he's done anything worse than Boat Trip. I'd have paid good money to see Catwoman or The Cat in the Hat before shelling out ticket price toward that one.

And in Laural Canyon they also cast an American as a Brit.

Salon has an interesting piece on the Stepford Wife-ing of Katie Holmes. Public lobotomy: entertainment or abomination? Liz Smith does not approve!

Liz Smith? Pot. Kettle. Or something. It's hard for me to believe that there is anything in there but "Columnist Liz Smith", come to think of it. Although if KH were my friend, I'd be freaked.

You know, the promo for the new movie about the Brothers Grimm is very odd. It's as if the Brothers Grimm were Watchers or something.
Maybe it's more a movie about a couple of people who happen to be called Grimm and are storycollecting brothers much like the Brothers Grimm in our universe, except that these guys are a team of demon hunters.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sumi, are you watching 4400, too? I was just going to come in and post about the trailer.
Looked worth seeing, even apart from the pedigree.
