'Heart Of Gold'
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.
According to Wikipedia, the chant is "Cut off a head", hence the reference.
Nope, that's a reference to the hydra of mythology. If you'll check the blue sidebar with the quote from its initial 1965 appearance, the actual chant used by the terrorist organization refers to limb rather than head. Not accurate to the source, but I suppose green-masked former Nazis aren't too picky about such things.
Plus, I'm not sure the Red Skull would go for a logo that featured multiple red skulls.

Personally, I think that logo would be cool. But then, I am not Red Skull.
ION, I remember Ed Wood
Ask any film buff to name the worst directors of all-time, and you can be sure Ed Wood’s name will come up. He’s become a legend for films like Plan 9 From Outer Space -a movie so bad it needs to be seen just to be believed. This piece was written by someone who knew him -in fact, the reluctant star of Plan 9, Gregory Walcott.
Jesse, me too! With the liking and the not sure why!! And according to imdb, she'll be in The Avengers.
Of course she will be! Why else put someone recognizable in the last few minutes? I kind of love that all of these movies are one big preview.
Probably too late for most of you, but the most legendary of lost horror films, Lon Chaney Sr.'s 1927 silent London After Midnight is showing tonight on TCM. It's a restoration and only an hour long so I doubt they have the whole film, but it's still a hugely significant bit of film history.
Basil Gogos' iconic painting of London After Midnight for Famous Monsters of Filmland made this movie the horror cinematic parallel to the Beach Boys Smile as an unavailable masterpiece.

Really too late to affect anyone's decision, but I've seen the TCM re-creation. It's largely a collection of still photos used to give a flavor of the film itself.
I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to Chaney's work, but worth seeing once if you're already familiar with him.
The Flick Filosopher has been doing a series she calls "Female Gazing," which is gorgeous pictures of famous men, concentrating on one at a time. Today it's Matthew Lewis, aka Neville Longbottom.
I've seen a few of these pics before, but as she says in the post, he does look a bit like a baby Clive Owen!
OMG, there are 2 Jeff Buckley bio-pics in the works and it looks like a Tim Buckley one in which Jeff appears.
Did I know this? That Enver's in The Avengers?
