Yeah, I just looked it up. I totally want to get married there. It's probably ridiculously expensive, though.

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.
Home invasion, creepy villains, screaming, running, flailing, lots of blood.
check, check, check, check, check, check
The parts I saw were few but very creepy. It's getting mostly meh reviews. They say the french film it's based on is better (big surprise there).
Rudy Wurlitzer talks about his career on Maud Newton's blog.
That's better than talking about his organ.
(I'm sorry. I'll let myself out.)
ba dum bum KRASH
Finally saw BOONDOCK SAINTS tonight. Really interesting, since I'd already seen OVERNIGHT (basically about what a megalomaniacal asshole the director was once he got his deal approved and how it ended getting the movie basically zero release in theaters). The non-release of the movie theatrically had to be entirely based on the bullshit Troy Duffy was pulling while making the movie, because the movie itself is monumentally entertaining in the most lunatic way, and would have found some kind of audience (IOW - the Weinsteins strangled the movie in it's crib out of spite). While it's not quite as deranged as SHOOT EM UP, it does hold together better as a movie overall (SHOOT EM UP ran out of gas about a half hour before the end).
Willem Dafoe's FBI agent gives Dale Cooper a run as most eccentric FBI agent ever (Hoover withstanding - real life does trump in the strangest ways, doesn't it) and I'm beginning to think that Billy Connelly has had THE most eccentric career of any actor I can think of. Seriously fun movie, but outrageously violent (and cat lovers beware - this may be the worst movie since 1900 or Argento's INFERNO for you).
I love Boondock Saints!
And I haven't seen Overnight, although I keep meaning to and your reminding me about it is A Good Thing. But yeah, everything I've heard even outside it is that suggests that Duffy is a colossal ass. Even for an industry used to assholes. He's been claiming there's a sequel that'll be turning up any second now for years and years.
One of the sound stages at Universal is on fire.
Holy crap! Kevin is not kidding.
I just looked out my window in the direction of Universal, and there is a GIANT column of smoke rising into the air. It looks bad. And it looks like more than just one stage.
ND's not working at Universal today, is he?
I imagine he's currently sleeping soundly in Pasadena, and if he was going anywhere today, it would be down to Costa Mesa.
The column of smoke coming from behind the hill is enormous. From here it looks like half the backlot is on fire. And those stages are crammed together like sardines.
