Probably Reed in his drinking years (which was most of them, I suppose). I understand a lot of Hammer films were cut to shreds in this country because of adult content, so that may not have helped, depending on what version you saw.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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
Curse of the Were-Rabbit is sooooooooooo good. It's brilliantly funny and sweet and witty and full of adorable bunnies. Eventually I'll have to get it on DVD so I can pause it and read everything in the background -- as usual with Nick Park, if there are words on something in this film, it's a joke, and some of them go by too fast to catch the first time around.

Hey. New board.
Saw Capote last night. Very depressing, but also fantastically good. Philip Seymour Hoffman is amazing, and Catherine Keener is very good, too, and Clifton Collins is no slouch. Basically, the acting's great, the story's intriguing, the direction is artsy, the movie is really, really awesome.

Art Crawl!!!
Curse of the Were-Rabbit is totally one of the movies that I must see.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just saw Crash, which was a really good movie. Definitely gets the Polter-Cow Seal of Approval. Of course, I'm a sucker for movies about intersecting lives (cf. Magnolia, Happiness ), but this one was squarely focused on race relations, and I think it worked in a very real way, looking at the way people can react in different ways at different times. All the characters were painted in shades of grey. I also really liked the music.

You're of course speaking of the most recent one, about lives intersecting in LA, and not the freaky Cronenberg movie about people who get off sexually by being in car crashes, yes?

Yes. Is that one not a really good movie?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I liked it. But it's very strange and I think some find it disturbing.

Oh my god, Mirrormask.
If it is playing ANYWHERE near you, you must go see it. It's beautiful. Gorgeous, gorgeous visuals that I want to overlay on the world around me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just saw A History of Violence.
Liked it, although I thought it fell apart in the last act. Viggo is AMAZING. There is a scene where he stands up as Tom Stall and then walks toward Ed Harris and literally turns into Joey before our eyes. His whole physicality changes.
