Buffy ,'Lessons'
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.
When we took Em to see Nightmare Before Christmas, she did get futzy and want to run around. THere was a handicapped area that she was able to do that in, with Joe and I sitting with her and didn't bother the other patrons.
Just a thought if he gets kindof rambunctious.
Preschooler moviegoing! Our one trip so far was a bit of a bust. I took B. to Wallace and Gromit a few months ago, and he didn't make it through, even though we were the only people in the cinema and he had his own booster seat and everything. He tends to watch DVDs in 30 - 45 minute bursts though. Plus: subject matter scarier than expected. I don't think he'll be seeing Nightmare before Christmas until he's about 8.
A great line of dialog from Snakes on a Plane: "Bomb squad missed them. Particle detection missed them. And the goddamn infrared team missed them. Because the fucking bastards are cold-blooded."
I have to admit, I'm really looking forward to SoaP.
Okay, now I'm also looking forward to SoaP.
Has anyone else here seen The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday? It's a 1970s Western, when more "adult" ideas and themes became acceptable. Done by American International and Samuel Z. Arkoff.
It's the one where two men (Lee Marvin and Oliver Reed (as a half-Indian, half-white man)) try to get back the money that their former business partner (Robert Culp) swindled them out of 15 years before. They're joined by Marvin's current "business" partner (Strother Martin) and a prostitute (Kay Lenz) that crossed their trail when Reed stole a patrol wagon from the police, who'd just raided a bordello.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. This one has too many plot developments to go into, including roles by the madam of the bordello (Sylvia Miles) and Culp's wife (Elizabeth Ashley). Delightfully loopy and a grand time for all. Well, the sexual content may make it inappropriate for the younger set, but you get the idea.
Oliver Reed (as a half-Indian, half-white man)
This makes me laugh and laugh.

Geez, ages ago. The 70s doesn't get enough cred for how subversively cool it could be. Plus, very lush, scorching Kay Lenz.
Ok, that might be a bit much. Even for me.
me, too. I'm totally skeeved.
