'Safe'
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.
NYCistas check it out - B-Musicals at Film Forum! Awesomeness!
Speaking of Film Forum and other things I miss living in the middle of nowhere:
Jess, any interest in seeing a foreign or other film on Saturday the 14th? I'll be in NY that weekend for my SF interview (Saturday lunchtime), but once I'm done with that I'd love to see Buffistas (and I missed you last time)!
IMDb news:
In an unprecedented action, the MPAA on Wednesday suspended the ratings process for 30 days for After Dark Films's horror flick Captivity after unapproved ads for it appeared on billboards and taxi tops in Los Angeles and New York. The film would then fall in line at the end of April with other films waiting for a rating, making it doubtful that it could receive a rating before its scheduled May 18 release. Referring to the unauthorized ads for the film, Marilyn Gordon, the MPAA's senior VP for advertising, said in a statement: "The sanctions in this case are severe because this was an unacceptable and flagrant violation of MPAA rules and procedures."
Heh. Pillocks.

Oh, excellent! I'll email you.
OMG. You're married to a man for almost 9 years, and one day he comes out with things like, "I don't like Max Headroom," and you think, "Who are you and what have you done with the man I thought I married?"
He also didn't like Weird Science, but I could put that down to resentment of my attraction to Wossname.
The DH has been working intermittently with Peter Bogdanovitch on a project the last few months. I have never met him myself. PB is currently in Fla. at a film festival, on a panel chaired by another friend. Another Friend just called to say he introduced himself to PB, said he was a friend of DH and Peter's first words were "How did Robin's surgery go?" I'm gobsmacked he even knows my NAME. How sweet is that?
I think everyone should go rent Paper Moon right now.
You were attracted to *Chet*?
Hey, TV Chet was played by Lee Tergensen!
Um, sorry, not Weird Science, Real Genius. Val Kilmer = the wossname in question. Somehow these are filed in the same drawer in my head.
Oohhhh, THAT Wossname! Yes. Well. Arguably the last best role Kilmer ever played. And I did the name confusion between the movies too. At some point they untweaked, though, and I don't get them mixed up any more.
Hi! I'm Jordan, I'm hyperactive. I was just sanding my floors, and I also knitted you a sweater....
