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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

Well, yeah. It had to build an on-set camp factory, having already used up the world's supply before production wrapped.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

LOL looks interesting but it's got a crappy rating on imdb. Would you recommend it?
