Oh no! The actor who plays Marcus Belby in the HP films was knifed to death.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

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.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Shit, that's sad.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The rewatch also rekindled my absolute love of Jessica Harper and I'm sorry that she seems to have disappeared from the acting biz.
Isn't she great? Also fantastic in Phantom of the Paradise and Pennies From Heaven (Steve Martin edition).
Well, now I know you skippped or skimmed or missed my Dan Hicks article with Oxford American because she's a serious session singer who worked on his comeback album (with Karla Devito), singing red-hot Andrews Sisters, swing-era style close harmonies.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Jesus Camp. It's been written about elsewhere at length, but you'd think that a scene in which pre-scandal Ted Haggard leans into the camera and makes a joke about how he knows what you did last night, well, you'd think that scene would be the creepiest moment in any given documentary movie. But it's not even in the top ten.
