You mean beyond the outrage of Uwe Boll just existing and making movies?
I thought that was understood?
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Rebecca happens to be my favorite Hitchcock, and I'm not sure how it could be improved. Perhaps -- but only perhaps -- by telling parts of the story that could only be hinted at, or not told at all, under the Code.
On the other hand, the basic plot of a young, innocent, even somewhat naive second wife trying to live up to the memory of the first wife? Could go in several directions.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yes, I still get angry over the "witches lose their powers if they fall in love" bit.
Do what now? I've never seen that movie. Uggh. At least Samantha (Bewitched) never fully gave up on hers. Also, my tag seems especially appropriate at this juncture.

Ann, that's a ferret.
He isn't a very likable person. Or at least, he doesn't treat his second wife very well when she needs him.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
He didn't treat either wife well. For the first one, he went looking for a very specific type of person, met and married her, and then decided nope, not what he wanted at all.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
People tend to forget that Anjelica Houston had a long modeling career before she was in movies. This collects some of her modeling from the late sixties and early seventies.
Some really amazing and gorgeous shots in there, and so different from how you think of her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
so different from how you think of her
You sure you don't want to say so different from how *you* think of her? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thinks of her as a highly gorgeous woman capable of assuming many different personas.
Not that I think everyone thought that, but I doubt it's an insignificant number.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Clearly it's just my deficient imagination. Mostly though I was referring to her youth and the era of 70s fashion when she was modeling. Though she had other roles, she didn't really breakthrough in film until Prizzi's Honor in '85 when she was in her mid-thirties.

Yep. She loses her powers, and that's how he knows she's Really In Love With Him, She's The Girl For Him! She also becomes kind of insipid. The movie is great up until the last 10 minutes or so.
