There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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.

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

Has this been posted yet (haven't looked at everything, so I'm not sure if any of the stills are spoilery - they look like just shots fromt he trailer to me):

Those are great.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

We share a name, we share a brain ...

We are as one.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I know we have some fans here, so I'll note this find: a blog devoted to reviewing classic caper films.

Watchmen - Hitler finds out about new Watchmen [snip]. (Yet another Downfall remix.)

Spoilery about one of the major changes from the graphic novel.

I don't know why I keep finding these Downfall remixes so funny....

eta: Also, we learn that Stalin considered Watchmen unfilmable....

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

As funny as the Wall*E one is, I can't stop laughing at this one: [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Frankenbuddha, if you've been wondering, "Hmmm, I wonder what it would look like if a Japanese director loved both the Bugaloos and Dario Argento and made a horror movie?" Wonder no more.

"Hmmm, I wonder what it would look like if a Japanese director loved both the Bugaloos and Dario Argento and made a horror movie?"

The scene in which we watch Melody getting eaten, and then digested, by a grand piano is probably the most memorable

OK, this bit alone makes it sound like a must see. I mean, Johnny Depp getting eaten and vomited by a bed I can see anytime I want. But a grand piano?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Here's the trailer.

...and here's the piano death scene.

Wow, that did not disappoint for sheer gruesome wackiness.

We've talked about that movie before - once you see that piano scene (even a preview), you don't forget....

Um, wow. That's some SERIOUS nightmare fuel. The Japanese are a very, VERY strange people.
