I object to your assertion. Not the ones in 16996.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

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.

TCM Alert:
Weds, 12/21 They're showing Spirits of the Dead, which is a 1968 horror anthology in three parts, directed by Roger Vadim (Barbarella), Louis Malle (Au Revoir Les Enfants) and Fellini (you know). Each section is based on a Poe story, and it has one of the most beautiful casts ever assembled with Terence Stamp, Alain Delon, Jane Fonda and Bridget Fonda all either in their prime or pretty damn close.
While the entire thing is worth watching, the reason you should really really watch it (or just DVR it) is for Fellini's section known as Toby Dammit (which is based on an obscure Poe story titled "Never Bet Your Head With the Devil").
Starring Terence Stamp, it's Fellini's tip of the hat to Mario Bava, and in turn Kubrick stole something from it for Clockwork Orange.
It's super swank, ultra decadent, gorgeous, dark and very cool. The Malle and Vadim sections are period and feature some gorgeous costumes. The Fellini section has a contemporary setting and is Euro-Mod.
And for car fans (tommyrot!) the famous Toby Dammit Ferrari

As did Scorcese, in a way, for Last Temptation of Christ.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Saw Hugo today. I really liked it, found it quite engaging and quite beautiful. They got the automaton right, which for me was the important part. The bookstore was also quite delightful. Pity they don't look like that anymore.

Nicole Miller's is silly. Rachel Roy's is I don't even know. The Blonds turn Katniss into Phoenix and it looks pretty cool. Christian Siriano's is pretty nice too. BCBGeneration's is pretty awesome, if impractical. Christian Cota's generally works. Ooh, I like Charlotte Ronson's.
Are these fashion designers aware that Jennifer Lawrence is not seven feet tall with no waist?
