Mal ,'Trash'
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.
It came in at #9 this weekend so it shouldn't drop off of too many 1st run theatres but it might show in the smaller auditoriums.
Smaller auditoriums are fine, I just don't want to see it on the teeny-tiny screen of our local second-run movie house. Thank you for giving me that info!
Jayzus, Jilli! How can you have not seen it yet? Ditch your adorable husband and have a friend take you. Pete can catch up later.
It's criminal that you haven't seen it. You need to be on top of these things!

I would do this, but the deadline really is eating his brain and I think he would be not very amused if I went to the movie without him.

I looked at the big pretty art book for it.
Oh. My. Dog. That is made of so much awesome, there's none left for anyone else!
Awe. Some.

Of these, I've only watched I Walked With A Zombie, The Seventh Victim and Cat People. Colour me excited!
They are basically showing everything in the Lewton Box set (including the doc). Cool (but I already own it).
Oh, I remember eying that box set when it came out. It was too pricey for my blood.
Oooh, I saw that mentioned somewhere weeks ago and meant to make a note, but didn't. So thank you for the reminder!
I rented most of the boxed set collection a while back, but I wouldn't mind recording copies of some of those. Plus I'm sure I missed bits and pieces since I was usually watching them late at night. I distinctly recall that I started drifting off during Isle of the Dead. Luckily I was awakened by one character's blood-curdling scream. Helpful! And not at all traumatic!
