because that movie, I am still ranting about it.
We watched the whole thing in appalled fascination. Parts of the soundtrack are good, at least?
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

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.

Don't know if the Wickerman mention was a comparison. I love Wickerman - the score alone makes it worthwhile, and I think the story is actually good horror.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I think Jessica must have meant the Nicholas Cage remake of The Wicker Man? The original is a classic.

Count yourself lucky. I think Cage is on some Marquis de Sade-esque quest to explore the outer reaches of bad acting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm looking at the amount of fanart for Beasts of the Southern Wild on deviantArt, and there seems to be very little. It's really pretty, but scant. Sadface.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
ita, a multimedia exhibit on Beasts just opened yesterday at the Contemporary Arts Center here . Behind the scenes and deleted scenes video, some of the props, a music room playing the score, etc. if my parents hadn't been here I would have gone to the opening - they had the pickup truck bed boat and Dwight Henry (Wink) catered. Lost Bayou Ramblers played. I will definitely be going to see it and ill let you know if there's anything awesome.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Beau and I hit the trite movie lottery last night. We saw the movie "Red Eye" with Cillian Murphy and Rachel MacAdams. Wes Craven was the director, which perhaps should have been a clue that our movie-watching choices needed some revision, but we pushed forward.
The movie is about Rachel's character who is a big-time hotel manager (?) and how she is kidnapped aboard an airplane, and her father's life is threatened so that she will move a guest from one room to another.
It was an exciting movie generally, but the kidnappers' plans had so many flaws and not a clear purpose that I was puzzled by their end game. Further, the characterization of the main character was quite limited. In general, this could have been a lifetime movie with better special effects. It was perhaps that inconsequential.
