No love for the Cook/Moore/Donen BEDAZZLED? Oh the (in)humanity.
You fill me with intertia.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That was my first thought as well!
It's kind of a boring list, considering they could have included things like The Last Temptation of Christ. Or The Devil in Miss Jones. Gosh, that would be an excellent double feature.

No, the exploding-head double feature would be Scanners and JFK.

Ha! (But no love for Raiders of the Lost Ark?)

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

Someone should combine these two movies.
Was Oswald the scanner? Or was it an agent of Castro? Ooh, we could have a mob hitman scanner....

Didn't the head in Raiders melt, more than 'splode? Or did it do both?

It definitely did melt. I don't remember if it exploded at the end.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I think the Lorre-esque creep (with the folding hanger) was the one whose head exploded after melting almost completely.

"exploding head movie" is a useful google search.
The upside is that there are exploding heads in "A History of Violence," and since the studio has asked that the movie's secrets not be revealed, I'm not going to say if Hurt's is one of them.
I can reveal, though, that "Violence" is easily David Cronenberg's best exploding-head movie since "Scanners" which as anyone knows, is the best exploding head movie of all time.
