who in their right mind is going to turn down David Bowie offering to be their love slave, even if it means giving up a family member,
Well, she also had to say she feared him, but I could work up a little existential dread for the cause.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I just watched Happy Feet. It was generally pretty boring and I didn't understand where all the accents came from. And I expected a movie with this concept to have a message about how Being Different Is Okay (Even If You Are Considered an Abomination Unto the Lord), but instead the message was that penguins are only worth saving if they can dance.
...What?
yep. That's Happy Feet.

Skipping over all the painting talk to say that I am working a benefit bash for Betty Garrett tonight. I put Betty in her mic, and I am currently watching the show from backstage, standing next to Beau Bridges listening to Betty sing.

Other people I have put into mic tonight - Gogi Grant and Carole Cook. Betty is singing dirty limericks.
All of the old ladies here tonight are dirty old broads. It's pretty awesome.
Also, I'm now officially two degrees away from Frank Sinatra, Jack Lemmon, Gene Kelley, and any number of other classic film stars.

Carole Cook is now roasting Betty. It's merciless. And hilarious.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. If you see Betty again, you can tell her I've got one of her fifties headshots in my Hot Hollywood Stars folders.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Very cool, Sean!

Tonight I watched Doomsday. It's terrible, but also fantastic. I think I can sum things up by telling you that at one point, the punk-rock survivors of a zombie-esque plague have a big Thunderdome-style show where the mohawked leader performs a dance routine to FYC's "Good Thing." Which was an unexpected musical choice. But then they set a guy on fire and ate him, so it all made sense.
After that our heroes get captured by knights in plate armor. And then they get to meet Malcom McDowell in a castle, and there's some gladitorial combat. And then there's a crazy car chase.
So it's kind of to 80s action movies what Raiders is to 40s serials. But less so.
