The only legitimate Bambi sequel is "Bambi vs. Godzilla," damnit!
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Heh, there was a "Bambi vs. Cthulu" movie floating around the net awhile back, which was a slightly different take.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ooooh, that's a winner.
Yeah, especially if we have cool special effects of Mansquito sucking all the blood out of Bambi, while Bambi's skin shrinks to the skeleton....
Hmmm, I'm feeling surly today....

An excellent review of the new IMAX movie about Mars (which I believe Lori was interviewed for, right?).

Yeah. I think all her "dialog" was cut, but I think she can still be seen it it.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I've seen some great movies lately.
First, my Peckinpah box came in, and the print of Ride The High Country is so beautiful that I found myself near tears several times throughout the movie (especially at the end, natch). Up next is The Ballad of Cable Hogue because I need distance before re-watching The Wild Bunch and emotional fortitude before going through both prints of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid to see the differences from each other (and from the Laserdisc copy I have on VHS, which is apparently a completely different cut).
Second, Off The Charts: The Song-Poem Anthology. I don't know how many of y'all picked up the Song-Poem Anthology Do You Know The Difference Between Big Wood And Brush?, but this is a not-too-enlightening-but-quite-fun movie more or less inspired by the anthology. Song-Poems, if you don't know, are based on those "send in your poems & we'll turn them into big hits" ads running from the 60s to today. The aspiring big hit writers send in their poems, along with a couple hundred bucks, and the companies would record a song with the poems as lyrics. Naturally, 95% of the product was complete shit, but there's a few where you can hear these hardened studio hacks suddenly feel the song and let loose, and those are represented on the anthology and in the movie. Biggest revelation (SPOILER for the, lessee, none of you who care) is that free-jazz saxophonist Ellery Eskelin is the son of Rodd Keith, who sang the near-perfect song-poem "How Can A Man Overcome His Heartbroken Pain?".
Third, last night we watched Kings and Queen, a Godardian look at a very fractured family. I don't want to say too much about this movie (and I think several people have recommended it here), but it was beautiful, funny, and poignant, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
Oh, and we've been catching up on the first season of Battlestar Galactica, partially spurred on by the fannishness of some here and Strega's generally high ratings on TWOP. We've just gotten through a few terrible episodes, but overall the series has been quite enjoyable.
