In preparation for finally getting MOTHER OF TEARS, I stayed up too late tonight and re-watched SUSPIRIA (along with the ancillary documentary disc). DAMN, I love this movie beyond all reason. Granted, it was a seriously formative moviegoing experience for me since I saw it when I was 13 in the theater, and it pretty much jaded me for life on violent horror movies, but it also primed for loving totally style-driven movies as well. Just fucking amazing how designed this sucker was to the nth degree. The rewatch also rekindled my absolute love of Jessica Harper and I'm sorry that she seems to have disappeared from the acting biz.

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!
Juliebird, I can understand the dirtiness. I didn't mind it as much, but yeah. It was a lot of fun, though.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I saw the headline "Teen Actor from Harry Potter Killed" on Yahoo yesterday, and I swear my heart stopped.
Poor kid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh, and he was just trying to help out.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ants! Why did it have to be ants ? Why didn't anybody warn me? I had to plug my ears but I could still hear it. ::shudder:: I'm going to have to find a crystal skull to sleep with tonight.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Laga, and today, on my hike through the state park adjacent to my parents place, a trail took us through 1-2 foot high ant hills, and for maybe a hundred feet up and down the trail they covered it.
Bad day to wear my tevas.

Back to The Fall, IMDB lists it as 2006, fandango had a "Buy Now" link, and there are limited showings near me and some more in Manhattan. Is it just coming out, or is it fading away? Because maybe I'll have to head into the city this week to see it (oh the joy of working in a town with a direct line to Penn!)

Juliebird, IMDB lists it as 2006 because that's when it premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. It just wasn't released in US theaters until this month.
