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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Post on Dali's interest in film: [link]
Here's a quote from a 1937 letter Dalí wrote to surrealist André Breton: "I’m in Hollywood, where I’ve made contact with the three American Surrealists, Harpo Marx, Disney and Cecil B. DeMille." I also hadn't realized that Dalí created the dream sequence for Alfred Hitchock's Spellbound (1945). Apparently, a phantasmagoric ballroom scene was shot for this sequence but ended up on the cutting room floor. Dalí's artwork and notes for this part of the dream are quite remarkable. It's sad that the footage was lost.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
From IMDB news:
Chicago Sun-Times advertising/marketing columnist Lewis Lazare has accused Paramount/DreamWorks of launching a "bait and switch" ad campaign for its forthcoming (Dec. 21) release of Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Lazare observes that although the movie employs the entire Stephen Sondheim score from the stage production and that 90 percent of the movie is sung, the official trailer "makes the movie seem like a fast-paced bloody period thriller/horror flick." Lazare suggests that the ads should "lure in enough unsuspecting moviegoers in the opening weekend" but that sales may fall off following "negative word-of-mouth from slasher movie fans who feel they've been badly tricked."
This is just so weird to me because, for fuck's sake, it's SWEENEY TODD. It's so odd to think about someone not knowing it's a musical. I guess it's not as popular as Phantom of the Opera, which everyone knew was a musical.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

O RLY? That should be news to the Sondheim fans who've been tracking what's been cut. Such as "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd," the opening/closing number.

Dana, I've heard they still use the score, but they cut the actual song as a framing device.

"makes the movie seem like a fast-paced bloody period thriller/horror flick."
So... it's not? The "fast-paced," I could maybe see, but I have a feeling it still fulfills "bloody," "period," and "thriller/horror."
I mean, it's not Mamma Mia, people.

I still can't believe they cut The Ballad of Sweeney Todd! It's just---wrong.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
That's as silly as the notion that they called it "The Madness of King George" so nobody would skip "George III" on account of missing "George" and "George II".

Sophia Coppola sucked in "George II".
