I finally got around to watchin MCCABE & MRS. MILLER again. Damn that's a beautiful movie. My only quibble is with the damned optical snow over the end sequence - it's REALLY distracting (like more distracting than the optical birds in THE BIRDS distracting). I get why they needed it to be snowing, but it was hella distracting, and at a point in the movie when you don't want any distractions.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

They've renamed the adaptation of A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing. It's now called Suburban Girl. I wonder if this could be the role that gets SMG away from the teen horror flicks.

I'm going to pretend that Shopgirl, Factory Girl, and Suburban Girl are a trilogy.

Yet another edited trailer, Mary Poppins as a horror film.
That is the Best Thing Ever. I want that movie to be made. Now I need to go watch the trailer again.

Chicagoistas, there's an all-day showing of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy on December 28th, for only $10 (total), at the Music Box Theatre.
FotR: 1:20 TTT: 4:40 RotK: 8:00
Looking at those times, I'm guessing they're showing the theatrical releases, with 20 minute breaks between.

Well done! Most classic kids books and movies do have some undertow to them anyway. I'm sure you could do a very scary take on Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder version) as well.

You mean it isn't already scary?
There's no earthly way of showing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining?
Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?

Yeah. Just like Audition. You big fraidy cat!
No, it's creepy. Totally different vibe.

You're right. Creepy doesn't equal scary. Now, scary are those damn Flying Monkeys!!
