Willow ,'First Date'
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.
The Hunger as (typecasting again!) the 400-year-old lover of vampire goddess Catherine Deneuve. The movie is a schlockfest of early-MTV flourishes (flash cuts, flapping birds) and it's most noteworthy for a demure love scene between Deneuve and Susan Sarandon.
How did I not know that this existed?

You're too young?
It was sorta' a big deal when the movie came out in '83-ish....
God, now I have a craving to watch it again. All kinds of nice soft-focus vampiness.
Yeah I was busy being born and mastering the whole holding-my-head-up thing that year. Still though, that seems like enough fabulous things in a movie that I should have heard of it.

Indeed, it's rather a cliche of awesome eighties imagery. It's all opera and goth and beautiful cheekbones and flash cuts and ankhs. Ann Magnuson plays this sexy little punk girl who does a sexy little dance before she's killed by Bowie.
It's directed by Tony Scott, the younger brother of Ridley. He also directed True Romance.

Ooh, I didn't know that. (Although I didn't know who Magnuson was when the flick came out.)

And now every movie with Denzel Washington, right?
ION, this sounds cool:
Of Dolls and Murder, A Documentary About Dollhouse Crime Scenes
“Of Dolls and Murder”, a documentary about dollhouse crime scene investigations, directed by Susan Marks and narrated by John Waters.
The new documentary film, Of Dolls and Murder, explores our collective fascination with forensics while unearthing the criminal element that lurks in one particularly gruesome collection of dollhouses. Rather than reflecting an idealized version of reality, these surreal dollhouses reveal the darker, disturbing side of domestic life.
Created strictly for adults, these dollhouse dioramas are home to violent murder, prostitution, mental illness, adultery and alcohol abuse. Each dollhouse has tiny corpse dolls, representing an actual murder victim. In one bizarre case, a beautiful woman lays shot to death in her bed, her clean-cut, pajama-clad husband lies next to the bed, also fatally shot. Their sweet little baby was shot as she slept in her crib. Blood is spattered everywhere. And all the doors were locked from the inside, meaning the case is likely a double homicide/suicide. But something isn’t right. The murder weapon is nowhere near the doll corpses – instead the gun was found in another room.
Does The Hunger have a seduction scene featuring a cello bow?
