A San Franscisco band called The Young People do an excellent noise-skronk cover of one of those Night Of The Hunter songs. I think Jon B turned me on to them.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

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.

"Pretty Fly" is not meant to be a noise-skronk song!

Love NotH!

This is the song OA put out. "Pretty Fly" is the one I got as a cover (by the Stinky Puffs, one of the side projects for John Flansburgh of TMBG. The song is actually credited to Sister Puff as it is three women singing a capella in close harmony).
Both songs, incidentally, though they sound traditional were written for the film by the guy who composed the score.

Interesting, especially since "Leaning" is treated as a traditional song in the movie (when Lillian Gish's singing overwhelms Mitchum's).

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I did not know of a NotH soundtrack!!! SQUEE! "Leaning" scares the bejeezus out of me - in a good way.
The house in The Party was indeed fabulous. I need more Peter Sellers!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sellers is in The Millionairess, which is on TCM this afternoon. So is Sophia Loren.
My Tivo is ready.
There's nothing quite like The Party. I kept thinking it was trying to say something, but I wasn't sure what it was.

I think The Millionairess misses to a poor adaptation of the play. Too literal in some ways, not literal enough in others. Sellers and Loren are(as you would expect) superb.

I finally watched V for Vendetta, which my DVR recorded off of FX, so it was edited for content, etc., but I still found it to be an excellent film. Loved Hugo Weaving's performance as much as I did Natalie Portman's. Also fell for the doomed Stephen Fry character--such a nice guy, such a obvious redshirt.

Heh. That's hanging out on my Tivo too. Maybe next weekend.
