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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I've only seen the French movies on that list, but I'm fine with them being there.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw The Town last night. I liked it--a fun tight action film, with some really nice performances. Also, that Affleck guy has been doing SOME working out--laws a mercy.

Speaking of French movies, I just watched La Reine Margot. Wow, that was a lot of blood. Historically justified, but still.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Saw Let Me In today. I was surprised at how much it was like Let The Right One In, as it was not supposed to be a remake, just based on the same book. A lot of the scenes and dialog were very similar. (The book had a lot more going on than just the Eli/Oskar stuff, so I thought that this version might have some of the other stuff in the book, but not really.)
I thought Chloe Moretz (who played Hit Girl in Kick Ass) was very good but not as good as the two kids in Let The Right One In (who were both amazing). Also, Let The Right One In was just beautifully shot. So overall I think Let Me In was good but not as good as the first version.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sally Menke, a film editor who worked closely with Tarantino, found dead.
In follow up to that...
Quentin would rent out a bungalow in some isolated spot to edit the movies. That way they couldn't have studio heads dropping by to give opinions. But it was kind of a lonely gig for four to eight weeks, sitting in the dark cutting the movie.
So he'd have the actors drop little hellos to his favorite collaborator during their takes.
Here are the "Hello Sallys" from Death Proof to cheer her up while she worked. Usually after a blown take.
Here are the Hi, Sallys from Inglorious Basterds.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Those were wonderful. Thanks for the links.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Louise Brooks's private journals to be revealed.
I hope they're released unexpurgated, because they'll be sizzling.
I want to hear about her relationship with Garbo, and also Wm. S. Paley (founder of CBS).
