It has glimmers of sexuality and brief glimpses of naked flesh amid all the fabulous clothes.
Good lord, that could describe any F2F.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Did everyone see the Manolo Shoeblogger post on the shoes in Marie Antoinette?

Hey. New board.
Glinda: Kristen Chenowith. She has enough star power.
Elphaba: This would be the role I'd give to a big-name star, if I were Hollywood. It's pretty much the central role, at least from a before-I'm-in-the-theater point of view. I don't know who I'd give it too, though, serious vocal chops pretty necessary. I don't know who sings.
Morrible: Bette Middler is BRILLIANT. But this role is minor enough, no reason to stunt-cast it if they want to go original cast.
Wizard: Joel Grey. He originated the role, and he has an Oscar AND a Tony, and he rocks my socks.
Fiyero: Taye Diggs is a brilliant concept.
They'd be awesome if they did the original cast, and it might fly, but yeah. Elphaba is the role to give to a big namer if they have to.

Ooh, I have the disk with The Body Snatchers from Netflix right now. I'm slowly working through the Lewton set. Probably won't get to it tonight, but maybe tomorrow.
I saw an ad for Marie Antoinette that ended with "based on a true story." I found that rather depressing.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I'm hoping they said that because it was based on the nonfiction biography by Antonia Fraser, not one of the many novels about MA that are out now.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I'm pretty sure that's the reference.

I wasn't in a big hurry to watch it, but Karloff's performance is so great. Really sly and menacing. Also it just looks gorgeous. As ever with the Lewton RKOs, they did a lot with a little.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just saw The Queen.
TOTALLY FUCKING WONDERFUL. Helen Mirren is incredible and the script is nuanced and sharp and fascinating. Go see it!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
So glad I only found out after the fact that Joey Lauren Adams was introducing her Arkansas-set Ashley Judd movie at the indie filmfest last night. No temptation to buy explosives now that it's over and done...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I finally got around to seeing Brick. It was pretty crazy. Really stylized, almost unbelievably so. But I'm not sure anyone's going to top it for quintessential high school noir. 'Cause, like, he totally just slapped noir onto high school and didn't hold back.
