I've joined the crack team of bloggers at The Screengrab, which is Nerve.com's movie page. My first post is up now. It ain't much, but it's a start. Warning: Nerve.com is primarily a purveyor of the prurient, so your job may be less than thrilled about you clicking on that page. Mine doesn't seem to care.

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.

No - just the Queen of Hearts.
OK, no excuse then.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Man, old-school comic book covers crack me up.

Hey Cor! Cool beans on your piece.
8:00 pm: Dick on Oxygen (again at 10:00 pm). This movie looked stupid and fluffy in the previews, and I didn’t watch it until a friend forced it on me. It’s hilarious. Best as the second half of a double feature with All The President’s Men.
As the Freshman makes the perfect third part after Godfathers 1 and 2.
I wonder what other such double bills there are. Is Barton Fink improved when seen after a Wallace Beery wrestling pic?
Dude! Thanks for the warning on Cleo From 9 to 5. I want to see that.
On The Haunting you neglect to mention (a) the coolness of Claire Bloom's sapphic sexy psychic, and (b) that she was lovers with Philip Roth for a long time (and then briefly married him). Also, if you've never seen her in James Joyce's Women then you should, because her performance of Molly Bloom's soliloquy at the end of Ulysses is AWESOME.
Also, you neglected to point out that the car from Vanishing Point was the iconic car Tim Minear used in Drive. Well, okay, nobody's really going to get that one but us.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Netflix bastards are adding a $1/mo surcharge for Blu-Ray.

they already had a surcharge didn't they? did they increase it?

Hey. New board.
Movies Without Pity saw a whole lot of footage from Watchmen and then recapped it for all to see.
I'm not reading, but the little bit of skimming for buzz I did implied that they were pretty impressed.

I didn't before now, and hadn't heard anyone mention one -- it could be that there was already a surcharge on some accounts but not others (different account levels, new accounts, something like that?)
