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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can't find the article online yet (it probably won't be up until tomorrow), but King Kong will premiere in NYC on December 5th on 38 screens at "a pair of 42nd Street theaters" (probably the E-Walk and AMC 25). From the sound of it, the premiere party is going to be outside in Times Square (I have no idea how they're going to manage that) with a "special moment" at the Empire State Building.

Want movie now.

(Will ignore for the moment the security nightmare that a 38-screen premiere is guaranteed to be.)

move out and draw fire

I have no idea how they're going to manage that

I have no idea how they're going to get a giant ape on top of the Empire State Building.

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

a "special moment" at the Empire State Building.

A barbeque?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And the (Homeland) security nightmare that a "special moment" at the Empire State Bldg. is guaranteed to be.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This may be a stupid question. How visible is the Empire State Building from Times Square?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have no idea how they're going to get a giant ape on top of the Empire State Building.

They've done a giant inflatable ape before.

Hey. New board.

This may be a stupid question. How visible is the Empire State Building from Times Square?

Pretty much not. The other buildings tend to get in the way.

Yeah, I suspect the "special moment" will be for the television crews and the fans who didn't get invited to the party.

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

So I went and saw Cat People at a nearby arthouse theater. Yahoo Movies said it was the 1982 remake with Nastassia Kinski. They lied. It was the 1942 original. Which I had never seen, and was good. All psychological and stuff. But unlike the remake, less nekkid.

OH YEAH! Val Lewton, man. Incredible filmmaker. If you liked his Cat People, tommyrot, I highly recommend his Bedlam, starring Bela Lugosi. Good shit.
