Bullets Over Broadway! Yes, indeedy. See, I'd forgotten that was Woody Allen, too. Now the alien subset has two movies in it.
I should rent that one again.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've recently seen movies featuring bears (or humans in bear suits)
About three years ago there was a whole slough of commercials with bears (or humans in bear suits). I thought at the time it predicted the end of civilization, but apparently it was just a harbinger of the coming attractions.

I'm such the Allen fangirl, but it's true...he's not been great lately. But I'll probably watch Scoop to see McShane as Not!Sweargin. On cable. Or something.

Mrs Henderson Presents came out last year
Huh. I could swear I saw a preview while I was at the movies recently. I wonder if it was an add for "coming soon on DVD" and I missed that part.
::hies off to amazon to check it out for wish list::

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Wicker Man is a remake? That's what I thought at first, but I saw a preveiw for The Wicker Man and I didn't see anything that was in the original. How faithful is it?

I'm gathering, not much. I don't know if the ending is the same. If you've never seen the original, try not to get spoiled for the ending.
The original came out in the early 70's, I think, with Christopher Lee, Britt Eklund, and Edward Woodward. I have it on video, it may be on DVD and/or *ahem*able.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's faithful to the basic plot of the original, but completely misses on everything else.

It's on DVD - Anchor Bay did a regular DVD and a boxed set (comes in a wooden box with scorch marks on it).

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
A reviewer on Amazon said it best. If you haven't seen the original, watch it before seeing the remake b/c all the remake will do is spoil the ending of the original, without giving you any of it's other great qualities.
