OK, I just tried the quiz, and got 27 titles. Out of 26.
Yeah, I don't get how there's only 26 either. The only thing I can figure is that the pig is not a movie reference in and of itself.

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.
Pics from Alicia Silverstone's new vampire comedy.
Most of the comments are about how ragged Alicia looks--and I totally don't get it. What is she supposed to look like? She's totally pretty. And looks better than most of the 34 year olds you pass in the street, which is what "actresses" are supposed to achieve, no?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Eh. That first picture is unfortunate, but she looks totally fresh and dewy in some of the others.

The pig has to be part of the reference for when it gets chopped, b/c the one-sheet for that movie was just the pig.
I'm thinking the falling cross isn't a movie and is just transition. But I still think there are two thongs that are clues that I haven't guessed.

Yes. I just meant that people thought the pig was Babe or something, but I think it's just a clue for what follows.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Last night was the Ophuls version of La Ronde, which was phenomenal. I mean, the opening tracking shot was a mindblower, but the scene where Simone Simon's character seduces her young charge was yowza-hot. I've dug her as a actress, but never found her quite as scorching as she was in this movie. Also amazing: she was 40 when she played this part. DAYUM.
Afterwards I watched Army Of Shadows, which leapt right into my list of top movies. It's an unrelentingly tense and grim portrait of the French Resistance which grapples with the very ideas of what it means to be free and to resist oppression. We never see our Resistance cell actually do anything that furthers their cause. Instead they seem to be constantly avoiding arrest, culling their numbers, brooding on the meaning of their lives, and reluctantly committing acts of brutality. An absolutely amazing movie, one that ranks with The Battle Of Algiers as a portrait of domestic terrorism.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw Easy A and it was totally charming with a fun script and some great performances. Emma Stone was womderful and the whole thing was just pure entertainment.

TCM heads-upping: Upcoming in the next couple of weeks are both of Malick's 70s movies, Days Of Heaven and Badlands, which are also among my favorite films. In a bit of synchronicity after my viewing of La Ronde, two more extravagant, proto-feminist Ophuls flicks are in the offing: The Earrings Of Madame de... and Lola Montes.
