Oh. My. Dog. That is made of so much awesome, there's none left for anyone else!
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
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!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
GF and I are impatiently awaiting the new Joan Crawford boxed set [link]
I think Joan might be my fave of all time. It alternates among her, Kate Hepburn, and Bette Davis. I just love Joan so so much!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I've seen both Cat People movies and bits of the others -- this will give me something to record for the long long writers strike rerun season.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

whether they actually had Straitharn smoking them for the sake of the movie
It was in an interview somewhere that they used cigar tobacco because it makes such thick swirly smoke. It photographs beautifully in B&W.
