Buffy ,'Potential'
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.
Antonio Banderas is much sexier in Spanish than English
Hasn't this always been the case with or without the white font? I liked him in Spanish language films and when I saw him in English films, I was not impressed.
See also: Penelope Cruz. Her acting in Spanish is really superb. Not so much in English.
I'm Tivoing The Runaways and it's pretty good.
Ms. Stewart is a credible Joan, has the right physicality for it. Dakota Fanning is doing a good job as Cherrie and the guy playing Kim Fowley is funny as hell. Why didn't this movie get more love?
They even open with one of my favorite obscuro glam songs, "Roxy Roller."
I also have The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus on the Tivo, and while I don't expect it to exactly cohere, I have to say I love the imagery Terry Gilliam gets on the screen.
Whoa that kissing scene set to "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is both a cool bit of filmmaking and pretty hot.
Let the Right One In had a bunch of really iconic looking scenes. That massacre at the pool ranks up with the bar scene in Near Dark, and Louis taking a scythe to the theater people for vampy mayhem.
Yeah, I found the movie super boring for the most part, but the pool scene was awesome. (I assume you're talking about the original? I haven't seen the remake.)
(I assume you're talking about the original?
Correct!

That's just because you've never had a vampire love, P-Cow.
And you have? (I haven't had ANY love, vampire or otherwise.)
The pool scene in the original Let the Right One In was amazing. I kind of want a loop of iconic vampire bloodshed scenes; that, the bar scene from Near Dark, the beach party massacre from Lost Boys, the opening taking of the town from 30 Days of Night, that sort of thing. Oh, and the opening 15 minutes of The Hunger, of course.
And you have?
Everybody's first really fucked up love is a vampire love.
the guy playing Kim Fowley
I saw Take Shelter recently and when I checked IMDB to see where I had seen Michael Shannon before, this was one of the bigger roles I could place him in. And it's about as far as you could come from his character in Take Shelter. Mind. Blown.

You know, that really shouldn't be too hard to pull together. You could probably grab all those iconic scenes off YouTube then combine them on iMovie or some such.
Or, you know, rip the scenes off the DVDs and put them together. But the former strategy is a little more within my range.
Doesn't Ple have a bunch of video editing stuff around the house? And a husband with two thumbs and professional televideo skills?
