Finally made it to Mother of Tears (last night of a one week run). Haven't quite processed yet. Will post more later (though I don't know who will be interested - I'm not sure if even Suspiria fans will want to see it). I'm actually on the positive side of the spectrum with it, but there were...issues (and I'm not talking about the extreme violence against women stuff - with Dario Argento, that's a given, along with extreme violence against men, children, reality, etc.). All I'll say right now is I agree with the online reviewer who summed it up as "bloody as fuck!".
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

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.

Sort of amusing (and spoilery) review of Hulk in the Guardian.
I don't think this bit is spoilery, but I'll whitefont anyway.
"Basic problem ... critic not believe Hulk angry. Hulk just roar.It not look convincing. Not truly seem angry. Critic think about this. Critic decide why. It because Hulk not swear. Hulk just say: "Hulk. Smash" etc. If Hulk shout C-word ... different matter. Then Hulk look angry. Sound angry. Not here. Hulk genteel."

Hah, Jars, I was just coming here to post that!
Review funny.
Edit: the review of "The Happening" is a classic too. Example:
Perhaps Shyamalan wanted to be a 21st-century George A Romero. Instead I'm afraid he is turning into Ed Wood Jr.

I think "Hulk genteel" is my favourite line...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
review of Hulk in the Guardian
For some reason my brain wants to read that paragraph in a Cookie Monster voice instead of a Hulk Voice.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Like Miss Piggy and Yoda, they are very much the same.

I always thought Yoda sounded more like Frank Oz's Grover voice.
