I finally got around to seeing Pan's Labyrinth and I am totally stunned. I think it is right up there with Belle et Le Bete and just a few other totally excellent fantasy films ever. I'll have to watch a few more times to be sure.

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.

Mirrormask touched me much more than I expected it would and certain moments of it kind of travel with me. Whenever I sense that someone isn't being altogether truthful, I want to ask, "Is that half of a brick? That's a half brick isn't it?"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Last night we rented Grey Gardens, the Maylses brothers documentary that was recently made into a B'way musical. It was amazing, stunning. The commentary (it's a Criterion release) was probably the best commentary I've ever listened to. I feel like these kinds of movies aren't being made anymore, and it's a shame. I want to watch it again. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes documentaries but hasn't seen it yet.

I love Grey Gardens. It's completely absorbing and fascinating and it sticks with you for a long time after.

It's not one of those "Mad Hot Ballroom" movies where a camera is turned on completely average people who charm with their averageness-- these women were made to have a film about them. What a glorious combination of subject and filmmaker(s).

I've never seen it, but Gimme Shelter is one of my favorite movies, so I'll check it out.

I think you'd like it since you like Gates of Heaven as well.

Double whammy! It's already on my Netflix list.

I can guess the reason for O'Toole taking the job, but is Padalecki that much of a drinker?
