By the way, I'm 99.9% sure that the French movie in Mad Men was in fact L'Année dernière à Marienbad.
ETA: That was to David.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

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.

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

In spite of not being David, I knew you'd know that!

I loved this movie as a kid. Need to add to my Netflix queue!

it was a romantic comedy about baseball? Really?
This is why I haven't bothered to watch it. I can be pretty much assured that it Isn't My Sort Of Movie.
Fight Club, on the other hand? I think is all sorts of fun.

I know. My account is on hold right now but I can't wait for it to start back up in September.
Except Marienbad is apparently not available. Seriously? Is there a new version coming out or something? I would have thought it was already Criterion.

No, Criterion never did it. There was a DVD, but it's long out of print. They had a new print making the rounds last year (and I missed it, CURSES!), so I'm hoping there WILL be a new version soon, Criterion or otherwise.

I've only seen bits and pieces, which is why I'm not sure about the Mad Men thing. It's really pathetic, especially since I had Robbe-Grillet as a professor in grad school.

I like "Necessary Roughness".
"You must learn to show respect!" And the referee using the correct names for the kung fu moves.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
The theory on House Next Door was that the film was La Tour de Nesle by Abel Gance. Having seen neither, I have no theories, myself.
