Wow. I was on topic and I didn't even know it.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

Attention Hec! We need to keep ours eyes open for this:
On Tuesday, November 25 at 7:30pm at the Walter Reade Theater, the Film Society of Lincoln Center is hosting the U.S. Premiere of LES IDOLES, the never-before-seen French 60s yé-yé/psychedelic musical romp starring gallic lefty posterboy Pierre Clémenti (Catherine Deneuve’s gangster lover in Belle de Jour) and nouvelle vague thespienne Bulle Ogier as pop singers backed by a band called Les Rollsticks (!).
No film captures the glittering, zombified world of France’s 60s yé-yé pop royalty with as much style as Marc’o’s 1968 musical, an all-singing, all-dancing missing link between the melancholy pop fantasy of Godard’s Masculine Feminine and Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle.
Plus!
After the movie, stay for the yé-yé afterparty with French psychedelic ’60s pop brought to you by Viva Radio DJs J. Tripp, Melody Nelson, and the Film Society’s Gabriele Caroti plus wine and beer compliments of Stella Artois!

As the namesake of such a prominent member of the yé-yé crowd, I think I'm obliged to seek this film out if it is shown anywhere near me.

In case any of you were wondering, the Blu-Ray of Beetlejuice looks fantastic. (Yes, my parents gave me a copy for my birthday.)

“Not dead yet!”
They're converting Beauty and the Beast to 3-D for rerelease in 2010. I'm already drooling, imagining the ballroom scene.

Grrr. This just reminds me how FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET has never gotten a proper release DVD or otherwise.
