'Never Leave Me'
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.
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.
Ya moved up a degree!
Sounds like a fun gig.
Carole Cook is now roasting Betty. It's merciless. And hilarious.
Heh. If you see Betty again, you can tell her I've got one of her fifties headshots in my Hot Hollywood Stars folders.
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.
I liked Up in 3-D. I thought it worked well, if not quite as well as Coraline. But I also would've liked it in 2-d, and the surcharge was $4 for us (normally $6 at this theater for pre-noon, but we got to pay $10) so I'm definitely feeling kinda "eh" on the whole concept.
So who's seen the German movie Felidae?
It's a very dark, gritty film noir that came out in 1994.
And it's animated.
And it's about cats.
...huh....
Huh, shit, that reminds me that there was this other German animated noir movie that came out recently (and by recently I mean in the last five years) that looked interesting, and now I can't remember what it was.
