I even searched the thread for "Shining." But since I can't play the thing at work I didn't see it the first time 'round...sorry.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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.

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

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Corwood, sorry! I was at work when you posted it, and my work computer won't play movies, so I appreciated bon bon's reminder to watch it.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Makes me wonder if the air traffic controllers' union got up in arms over "Pushing Tin," it being only the first example to come to mind of a film that portrays people in a certain profession acting less than professionally.
I watched it with my brother-in-law, who at the time managed a control tower, and he was spitting blood.
And yeah, Omar on the stand is just brilliant. "That weren't no attempted murder; I just shot him in the ass, made it hard to sit down".

Bon, Kate, thanks! But I kid. I kid because I love!
Omar on the stand is just brilliant
Y'all've said it and it's absolutely true. One of the highest points of a series full of high points. Another oblique Wire reference: when Bunk and Omar meet to talk in Season Three, the stage direction is almost identical to the way that Steve McQueen and his dad interact at the climax of Peckinpah's Junior Bonner.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm gonna have to take your word. Don't really speak Western, bunk.(Which I understand is weird in a wanna-be crime writer, but you know I'm weird, so, big surprise. I don't know if women crime writers feel that same love, though.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mike Myers will star as the Who's drummer Keith Moon in an untitled feature being mobilized by Spitfire Pictures. Roger Daltrey is producing with Spitfire's Nigel Sinclair. Bill Gerber also is producing.
Daltrey and Sinclair have worked on the Moon project on and off for about 10 years, but the film will be on a fast track and a director will be set shortly.
Myers last appeared onscreen in "The Cat in the Hat."

Hmm, so apparently an angry mob didn't proceed directly from the theater to tar and feather him after viewing it...

Junior Bonner's not so much a Western as a quiet little character study about an aging rodeo star.

Oh fuck. That was so Jason Schartzmann's gig.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In a disturbing revelation, Wallace & Gromit creator Nick Park told SCI FI Wire that his lovable, expressive dog Gromit was initially supposed to be a cat. "He was going to be a cat at first, and then when I was molding him, I found out it was simply easier to make a dog," said Park, who created the Academy Award-winning stop-motion-animated duo of a cheese-loving Englishman and his brilliant dog. "They became a couple, like an elderly husband and wife, and Gromit is the long-suffering wife, always rolling his eyes."
Even more disturbing, when Park decided to make Gromit a dog, he first gave him a voice. "I had Gromit with a Scooby-Doo kind of voice, a bit gravelly," Park said. "In the drawings he always had a mouth."
