The Devil's Backbone is the only del Toro I've really liked.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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.

My local cinemas have been taunting me with Night watch posters that move from theater to theater but never in a "NOW PLAYING" capacity.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
::pulls Aimee up higher:: No need to be embarrassed about Dusk Til Dawn, it was a lot of fun. Forever Knight was a movie before it was a TV show.
Calli ... Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires is available on DVD now. At least, it is in R2/4. I've got an old issue of the House of Hammer magazine that does a comic version of the movie. Very cool.
Did I miss it, or has there been no mention of John Carpenter's Vampires ?

You just reminded me of a strange movie I saw in my teens: The Comfort of Strangers, set in Venice. I keep thinking it was a vamp movie, but since I can't recall how it ended, which was the big reveal, I have NO IDEA. I think Walken was the creepy dude.

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 think Walken was the creepy dude.
I think Elvis might have recorded a few songs.

move out and draw fire
I think I liked the potential of Shadow of the Vampire better than the execution, but I'll stick with liking it. Doubt I will ever buy it though.
ION, there's another shot at a really bad Lovecraft movie...and it looks like Tori Spelling getting eaten by Cthulhu will move from my idle musings to actuality. [link]

Hmmm, I don't recall any gay college professors from "The Shadow over Innsmouth." But you gotta love a movie that features, as Lovecraft put it, "Earth's supreme horror."
And it has Cthulhu as well!

I think Walken was the creepy dude.
I think Elvis might have recorded a few songs.
And yet Walken still got outcreeped by Viggo, in a barely five-minute appearence, in THE PROPHECY. And Walken was plenty creepy in that.
Smartest talking monkey of all of them!

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Hmmm, I don't recall any gay college professors from "The Shadow over Innsmouth."
Also, every Cthulu-ite knows that all the evil stuff happens in New England, not on the beautiful Oregon coast.
