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.
"Gozer the Gozerian? Good evening. By the authority vested in me by the City, County, and State of New York, you are hereby ordered to cease and desist all supernatural activity and return forthwith to the nearest convenient parallel dimension."
Roughly. That's a tough one. But the "good evening" makes it for me.
edit: forgot the forthwith
"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."
"That's a big Twinkie."
"Let's split up. We can do more damage that way."
Seriously - the pacing and everything still holds up. It's a little hard to watch after 9/11, but still brilliant.
Diane Lane is starring as Penny Chenery in a Disney produced film about Secretariat.
So yesterday morning, a package was delivered that I was Not Allowed to see. I'd have to wait for my birthday, said Pete. I mock-sulked, and then picked up the current issue of Rue Morgue Magazine to read while eating breakfast. This issue has a big article on the Ghostbusters video game.
"Hey, when does Ghostbusters come out on Blu-Ray?" I ask.
"It just did."
"Ooooh, can we get it?"
"No." (long pause) "We don't buy movies that suck."
"TAKE THAT BACK I LOVE GHOSTBUSTERS IT DOES NOT SUCK."
Pete sighs in exasperation, and stomps upstairs. He returns, tosses an Amazon.com package in my lap, and says "That WAS going to be for your birthday, young lady."
So, yeah. Now I own Ghostbusters!
Jilli and Pete: Cutest spooky couple, ever. Well, I didn't say the a word, right?
BWAH!! Love. It.
So, does that mean you'll help me make Ghostbusters costumes for me and the DH for Halloween?
Be careful what you wish for: Do you really want to ask MiracleMan to make you a proton pack?
Absolutely! And we will spend all night going to major hotels to ride the elevators so we can say:
"Why worry? Each of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back."
"Yep. Switch me on."
Collecting horrified looks on Halloween is a lot more fun than simply going after candy.
