Casting for Whedon's Cabin In The Woods.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ha, Megan. The fact that I can tease you by mentioning Bresson is one of the reasons you are awesome. I wrote the Stalag 17 paragraph, too.

Is CRANK out on DVD yet? Because I'm going to have some long evenings to fill while I'm visiting Mom in the Old Ladies Penitentiary.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
yes, Crank is on DVD. It's a Hard R for just about everything you can get an R for in case you're worried about scandalizing old ladies.

Apparently the DVD comes with a "family-friendly" version. Which still has all the gratuitous sex & violence, but they say "freak" instead of "fuck." I might rent it just for that.
And Patton Oswalt recently weighed in: [link]
Do yourselves a favor, Academy voters. CRANK 2: HIGH VOLTAGE comes out April 19th. On April 20th, rescind all the voting categories. There should be one statue given out next year -- a 45-foot, sentient Oscar kill-bot, which Jason Statham will fight to the death at the next ceremony.

Oh that is good. I love Patton Oswalt. And not just because we have the same birthday.

I *just* saw Slumdog.
Other than having to close my eyes, pause it and grab a precautionary bucket in an early scene, I quite enjoyed it.
And when I got to the end, there was some notice about it being a screening copy. Um? A neighbor loaned it to me, figuring I might like it. Doesn't look like a bootlegged copy or anything. Weird.
eta: just looked closely at the label, and it's probably a very well done copy. Interesting.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Well, screeners are floating around now. Is your neighbor in the business?

Nope.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
It might have been bought used - since almost no studios encrypt their screeners any more, a lot more of them wind up in used video stores. (And the screeners for Slumdog went out months ago.)
