I was a little squicked about the actress being IRL so much older than Radcliffe, but then when I thought about it, IRL she wasn't even in the room so I got over it. In movie land she's his age (albeit dead for a while).

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Vampire news:
You haven't heard of the vampire film Moonshine yet, but you will. The film premieres at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, which starts Thursday in Park City, Utah, and it has a back story to make every aspiring filmmaker green with envy.
Roger Ingraham, the film's director, dropped out of high school, wrote a script and, at age 19, shot Moonshine using several dozen volunteer actors and crew. Total price: $9,200, including the cost of a Panasonic camera, a PowerBook G4 and website hosting.
According to an employee of the UltraStar cinema chain by way of Shacknews.com, a computer faux pas caused about 5,500 extra copies of the BloodRayne film to be created and distributed to theaters that didn’t even want to show it.

They weren't single-sex in the book, no.
I thought they were. I mean, I trust you (or I'm too lazy to look it up--take your pick!), but I remember having that impression of the schools long before seeing the movie, so it seems like a not-entirely-unsupported change, to me.
I don't know why the bathtub scene didn't squick me, but I think Trudy's point (they didn't film the scene together) probably had something to do with it.

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

Huh. Odd.
I read something by the creators, saying that the movie's box office was so poor because so many theaters that ordered it didn't show it. He implied it was the theaters' fault.

And here I thought it was because everybody other than the studio already knows that Uwe Boll movies are heinous.

It was showing in 9 different theaters in the Memphis metro area a week ago. Hopefully with a cricket : ticket buyer ratio greater than 1:1 in each cinema.

The places where BloodRayne briefly showed around here (2 theaters I think - the Globe reviewer snarked that one of the surprises of seeing BloodRayne was having to go to Revere to do so; I call that above and beyond the call myself) only had like one show per day the last time I noticed.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

My first thought upon reading that was "Wouldn't that be all of them?"
