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.
Nothing is worse than having to play another round of croquet before they will let you sit down for tea. SO HUNGRY.
It's true! And you get tempted to thump the other players with your croquet mallet, and the tea table is RIGHT THERE, tempting you ...
... no, I haven't read the books yet, either.
Not even close to how I pictured the dress, but the corset-y part in the midsection is cool. Except if it's cinched too tight Katniss won't be able to eat the scones, which will cause HUNGER.
Re: the alternate universe movie posters --
I so very desperately want to see David O. Selznick and Friz Lang's Inception.
Also Coppola's Unbreakable and Friedkin's Terminator and T2 (Steve McQueen as Kyle Reese!)
Also Lang's 2001.
When discussing this last night, my roommate and I added two more movies from this alternate universe that we are all robbed for their not existing in this world:
Orson Wells' "Alien" and "Blade Runner".
Orson Wells' "Alien" and "Blade Runner".
I think I'd rather see Val Lewton/Jacques Tourneur's Alien.
I would like to see Welles have an HBO series, though.
Preston Sturges should have one, too. He could be the Entourage-esque offering to Welles' Deadwood on AU!HBO Sunday
A documentary about seasonal haunted houses, The Houses October Built. Looks like fun. And the only way you'd get me near some of them.

Ooooh. I need to see that.
And it mentions Blackout NYC! That's the one where they make you sign a waiver, you have to go through alone, and there is no way on earth I would ever go through it. The Jaded Viewer posted a walkthrough/spolier for the 2011 one. I'm amazed they haven't gotten sued yet.
ETA: the write-up of the place is not for the faint of heart, easily triggered, or anyone who doesn't want to read about essentially being thrust into a "tortureporn" movie.
I love how the interviewer's eyes widen when he starts talking about being bound and all alone. "Is that legal?!"
No way on earth I would ever do that. The write-up was disturbing enough.

Heh, yeah. And after reading the write-up (and the one of the previous year's scare attraction), there is NO WAY what they do can be legal.
