S and I just finished watching Waitress, Which was beautiful and sweet and heartbreaking as a movie, and also very sad-making and difficult to watch, because of poor Adrienne Shelley. There's a bunch of special features on the DVD that I want to watch, but I can't. I'm too broken.
Time to slay. Vampires of the world beware!

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So it turns out Juno actually beat I Am Legend at the box office this past weekend, despite being in a little over half as many theatres. It made $15.9 million, putting it at #2. Criminy. It sure is a hit.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It's a massive hit. However many weeks into release, and this weekend it made more money than Serenity did on it's opening weekend (plus change).
And it's still not out for another month here. Wah.

The sleeper in there might be Body Snatcher, which has: (a) a fantastic performance by Karloff; (b) some fascinating grey moral dilemmas; (c) is genuinely scary and creepy in places.
Was that Wise's first movie as director, or was that Curse of the Cat People?

Curse of the Cat People was Wise's first movie as director.

Didn't he co-direct with someone else?

I think he took over the production of Curse of the Cat People from somebody else who wasn't working out.
He had been an editor for a long time. (He worked on Citizen Kane.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
He worked on Citizen Kane.
And more infamously The Magnificent Ambersons - he was in charge of the editing of the film after it was taken away from Welles.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
hee! I just saw Logan's Run is shipping to my roommate today from Netflix. I wonder if he has any idea what sort of movie it's going to turn out to be.

Heh. At least Flash Gordon knew it was campy.
