I raved about The Artist about a month ago, I think. Whenever the screening was, anyway. It's completely wonderful.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sunil, always like your reviews. Glad someone besides me was underwhelmed by Buckeroo Banzai and Blazing Saddles.

Because books.

Absolutely. I've loved Dark Shadows since I watched in the afternoons after school. I even watched the 90s remake!

Blazing Saddles has always been a big meh for me. Young Frankenstein is a better film in almost every conceivable way.
Buckaroo Banzai is just so awesome though.

Agreed. Also, Peter Boyle was one of the best monsters (comic or not) ever, and the ending where they fixed his brain was inspired.
Buckaroo Banzai is just so awesome though.
Also agreed.
No, no, no, don't tug on that. You never know what it might be attached to.

Polter probably doesn't appreciate Big Trouble in Little China, either t supercilious sniff . Ah, well, perfect agreement is boring, anyway.

In fact I would place Blazing Saddles and Buckaroo Banzai as polar opposites in terms of wit.
