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

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?
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.
I really really need to see some Filipino movies from the sixties: James Batman.
With its simple set-up out of the way, James Batman proceeds along a trajectory not unsimilar to that of most spy films of its era, trotting out a succession of action set pieces based around the villain’s serial attempts to pick off our heroes. Only, in this case, those set pieces are punctuated by gag scenes in which, to give a few examples, Batman gets pantsed and produces condiments from his utility belt, and James Bond gets bitten on his bare ass by a rubber centipede.
I haven't watched many John Wayne movies (okay, I suspect, none), but I wonder if I'm missing out when I read this Kung Fu Monkey post:
Top 10 John Wayne Movies That Could Also Be Porn Titles
10.) Men Without Women (1930)
9.) Rough Romance (1930)
8.) Seven Men from Now (1956)
7.) Girls Demand Excitement (1931)
6.) Maker of Men (1931) or Two Fisted Law (1932) -- tie
5.) Ride Him, Cowboy (1932)
4.) His Private Secretary (1933)
3.) The Star Packer (1934)
2.) Pals of the Saddle (1938)
And the winner is:

John Wayne wasn't in Seven Men From Now. Randolph Scott was.
