I caught Giant last night, right at the beginning! Such a fantastic movie. Elizabeth Taylor's Leslie Benedict is the most badass character in the movie.

After finally getting up to the Griffith Observatory, I want to watch Rebel without a Cause again. Which I know will end up being followed by Giant and East of Eden.

I haven't seen any of the three movies in a few years. Netflix doesn't have them on streaming.

I was so excited to see Giant. I haven't seen it in years, and it has a lot of meaning for me, too -- my first boyfriend took me into New York to see it on a big screen on our first date.

Awwwwwww.
Who just went searching online for a used copy of the James Dean Collection? New sets are selling for $56+. I found one for $20 that is in "very good" condition. Let's hope so!

Score!
For the record, we did make out for an awful lot of the movie. But I've seen it many times since then!

The World's End was a lot of fun! Edgar Wright clearly picked up a thing or two about fight scenes during Scott Pilgrim, holy fucking crap. Also, the "What the fuck?" exchange was great, but I was dying at the bit about pronouns.

I saw that yesterday myself, P-C. I really enjoyed the hell out of it. I probably liked Hot Fuzz better, but it's close on with Sean of the Dead for me (along with Paul and Scott Pilgrim which I think of as honorary members of the family).
That second bit you mentioned reminded me of something from Holy Grail.

smonster, and those who appreciated the blue goo vs. something more blood-like, Edgar Wright said during a Q&A that I attended that he went with blue because red would have gotten him a higher rating. He may also have said something about test audiences also preferring it, but I misremember now.
