'Beneath You'
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.
Kristen Bell is in Burlesque? Crud, now I have to see it. Will it lose much going from big to small screen?
It'll lose all the lush detail of the burlesque club itself, which was a big attraction for me. But if you have a decent sound system the musical numbers won't lose much with a more condensed visual. And Cher might not dive so deeply into the Uncanny Valley if you're not seeing her in 30-foot-tall closeups.
AV Club what party portrayed in a movie would you like to attend?
I put the question to you, Buffistas.
JZ I'm sad to report somebody already took the party in Can't Hardly Wait.
Grad party in Say Anything. Or dinner at Uncle Monty's in Withnail and I.
Or dinner at Uncle Monty's in Withnail and I.
Heh. Although the whole evening would be ruined when Uncle Monty gets mad at his cat....
Ooooh, good choices Sue.
I think my childhood notions of a great party were formed by the ending of Go, Dog, Go!
However, on the cinematic side I've always wanted to go to the party in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Also, the house party in Almost Famous where the rock stars show up, looked fun.
And the soiree with all the New Wave glasses in RHPS.
Without a doubt, Nick and Nora's Christmas party in The Thin Man.
Nora: Is that my drink over there?
Nick: What are you drinking?
Nora: Rye.
Nick: (He picks up the glass and drains its contents.) Yes. That's yours.
Without a doubt, Nick and Nora's Christmas party in The Thin Man.
Oooh, excellent choice. I'm drawn to a lot of Fellini's movie parties even though they're usually satirical and mocking.
I just saw his amazing "Toby Dammit" segment from the horror anthology Spirits of the Dead and I desperately wanted to go to that Oscar Party From Hell.
Then again, I wanted to live in the Bladerunner dystopia too.
I can't recall if we actually see the parties in Auntie Mame or just their aftermath, but I'm sure they were fun.
Of the ones I actually remember, it's a toss-up between the costume ball inside the Christmas ornament in Labyrinth and the one in Back to School where the band is Oingo Boingo and they perform "Dead Man's Party."
I can't recall if we actually see the parties in Auntie Mame or just their aftermath, but I'm sure they were fun.
I can't recall either, but I'm pretty sure everything in Auntie Mame was fun.
It says a lot about what a partier I am not that I would be most comfortable at the dinner parties thrown in Sliding Doors or Notting Hill.
I just love those good friends and good food scenarios.
