Xander ,'End of Days'
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.
Um, wow, Corwood. Just wow.
Although I still say David Gordon Green doing the SUSPIRIA remake is even more crack-addled, if it comes to pass.
What is with the trend of remaking not-that-old, auteur-heavy fims, lately? I've been seeing rumours about a VIDEODROME remake which may be the most mind-boggling, conceptually.
Speaking as someone who missed Naked Kate Winslet in Titanic and the panorama of all the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, I think this is a great site: [link]

Has any studio ever had this good a track record of producing quality films?
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) - 100%
Pinocchio (1940) - 100%
Fantasia (1940) - 98%
Dumbo (1941) - 97%
Bambi (1942) - 89%
Unfortunately, Disney studio couldn't continue its streak because of WWII, plus it was hampered because Fantasia was kind of a box-office bomb.
because Fantasia was kind of a box-office bomb.
That's their fault for releasing it before LSD was invented.

Eh, 8-year-olds will rate *anything* 100%....
(I kid, I kid.)
I think it's true, though.
I saw the imdb page about that new Bad Lieutenant film the other day. I thought it might've been good. Then I watched that trailer.
I can't think of a movie I'd rate 100%
