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.

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.

Hey. New board.

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.

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

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.

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

...huh....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

move out and draw fire

yep. That's Happy Feet.

My 4yo won't even watch it. He tried once, and keeps telling me how bad it is.

We're going to attempt Up with the actual child, although we are both concerned that we will love it and want to watch it, and he'll want to know where the Jedi are and when the shooting starts.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I found Happy Feet to be just about the most depressing movie I had ever seen.
