Willow ,'Beneath You'
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.
That was one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen.
Until I saw the clip I was disgruntled that the kung fu movie edged out Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires, but it would definitely win the weird-off between the two.
My notable missing selection from the list is Club Vampire . John Savage plays a vampire who survives being decapitated and raps, and Michael J. Anderson plays a dwarf vampire named "Kiddo."
The Reflecting Skin
The exploding frog! I'd forgotten almost everything about that movie but that image stayed with me. Well, that and baby!Viggo.
Lair of the White Worm IS pretty damn weird.
Bears repeating. But that's Ken Russell for you.
The Reflecting Skin
I was never sure if that was a vampire movie or that it was all in the kids' imaginations. Either way, it ended up being a fairly bleak movie.
RE: Gravity (This comment occurred to me last night during my second viewing)
I really kind of love that Clooney's entire purpose in the movie is essentially to keep the audience (and Bullock) from just freaking out completely. Like - it's okay. Everything will work out in the end. Clooney's here. And yet it does it without robbing Bullock of her character's all important agency to the story. When he shows up to "save the day," it's really only her own subconscious reminding her of stuff she knows.
I'm really just so in love with this movie. I really didn't think movies could make me feel like that any more. It was just SO immersive and transportive. And every single part of the film goes to serve that purpose, and serves it so wonderfully and well. So many beautiful, haunting, and harrowing images and sequences.
For people who think Gravity might be too intense, I highly recommend this audio montage.
You know what I loved about Gravity? She survived in no small part because she read the damn directions.
So is it worse that there was instant full penetration in Brokeback Mountain or that this movie says it has to hurt: [link] ? I'm just disappointed that Dan didn't do his own research. Don't take someone else's word, dude! It's just a sphinctre and a small courgette. Oh, and Crisco.
I have never seen the word courgette outside of a Harry Potter fic till now.
Smonster, YES!!! And loved that she had at least memorized the color coding.
Connie, was it Little RedCourgette?!?
