Matt speaks the truth. GC mentioned the bathroom scene and all I could picture was the parallel from Scary Movie.
Just watched Finding Neverland. Beautiful movie.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

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.

Yeah, the terror pretty much dissipates when you've seen it re-enacted with Shawn Wayans and really tasteless penis sight gags added.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I need to watch it then cause when I'm alone in the bathroom at work, I hurry through my hand washing so the scary mask dude won't get me.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
It's been ages since I've seen Se7en. Can someone please whitefont for me how the hooker dies?

Se7en hooker death - Kevin Spacey dude forces a guy to rape her with a dildo fashioned into a knife.
IIRC. Haven't seen it in a while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Paramount is in final negotiations with Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn to direct and produce a screen version of Neil Gaiman’s Stardust, about “a young man who promises his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm, where he has to contend with witches, goblins, gnomes, talking animals and evil trees.” One Ring nerds everywhere go on a cloak dry-cleaning frenzy.
Variety article -- to which I can't get, but there you go.

Hey. New board.
IIRC. Haven't seen it in a while.
You RC. But it's more than that, it's this beatifully wrought leather device thing... SO fucked up.
Yeah, the Scary Movies are good at the tension reduction. They're also much funnier high, like most such movies. Not Another Teen Movie also comes to mind.

Wow. Layer Cake and Stardust seem very unalike on the surface of things, but I can see this combo working.

Just don't EVER go see Ju-on. That had me looking around nervously in a restaurant men's room afterwards, and it's very rare for me to be sufficiently creeped by a movie to get jittery outside the theater.

A WORLD of yes. And a couple days after I saw Ju-On, I was chatting with the security guards at work, standing behind their bank of CCTV monitors, and I got real twitchy - I couldn't look at the monitors, in case I'd see a shadowy thing, but I couldn't put my back to them either.
New topic: My old cow-orkers have challenged me to come up with the Top 10 movie quotes (to compare against AFI's Top 100 movie quotes). My first reaction, in no order (I'll look up exact wordings later):
"Rosebud"
"Of all the gin joints in all the world..."
"This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship"
"Scarlet, I don't give a damn"
"No matter where you go, there you are"
"I've got a bad feeling about this"
"E.T. Phone Home"
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning"
Hmmm...running out of steam. Not running out of quotes, just running out of quotes that people other than myself use regularly.
