Robocop's a fun movie, but Detroit does not equal Michigan. Escanaba in the Moonlight is just as representative of the state, if not more so.
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.
Same with Pink Flamingos and Maryland.
Wow, here's what Edith Scob ("Eyes Without a Face") looks like now.
Cool preview to the prequel to The Birds:
We've been doing a lot of driving over the last couple weeks, and we keep driving by large groups of noisy birds. I keep telling Hubs that if we see Tippi Hedren, we need to get out of there.
It's so cool to be able to check the TV listings today and see scary movies all over the place: Shutter, Tower of London, The Tingler, Mrs. Doubtfire...
Mrs. Doubtfire! Ha.
Heh.
Fright Night is on. There's just something about the popcorn appeal of eighties teen horror movies. I love Stephen Geoffreys as Evil Ed. I mean he's not quite up to Tom Waits as Renfield, but he makes an excellent vamp minion. Plus cute Amanda Bearse and scary Chris Sarandon.
I watched The Lost Boys last night. I wanted to like it more than I actually did; it was strangely boring for the first half, until the vampire action really started. And I felt like it was two different movies, and one of them was The Goonies Meet the Vampires, which didn't mesh well with Michael's story. It wasn't bad, though, and it looked good (although the big hair was distracting). In its defense, I was tired and sleepy when I watched it.
I've always liked Lost Boys more for its parts than as a whole.
I fell asleep trying to watch Wes Craven's New Nightmare last night.
