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.
OMGOMGOMG.
This summer the AFI Silver is doing something called "Totally Awesome 3: More Films of the 1980s."
And it really is totally awesome. Ghostbusters. Gremlins. River's Edge. Nightmare on Elm Street. Breakin' AND Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. Escape From New York. Robocop. Transformers: The Movie. Star Trek 2!
Eeeeee!
That is a sweet lineup.
The io9 review of Transformers 2 may be the best review in the history of cinema. [link]
Huh, I've never heard of River's Edge, but it sounds intriguing.

Ha!
Imagine that you went back in time to the late 1960s and found Terry Gilliam, fresh from doing his weird low-fi collage/animations for Monty Python. You proceeded to inject Gilliam with so many steroids his penis shrank to the size of a hair follicle, and you smushed a dozen tabs of LSD under his tongue. And then you gave him the GDP of a few sub-Saharan countries. Gilliam might have made a movie not unlike this one.

This is beautiful:
LaBoeuf projects a pathetic, wall-eyed dorkhood, when he's not babbling like a tumor removed from Woody Allen's prostate that somehow achieved sentience.
Never seen River's Edge??? Must see!
Plus, bonus Keanu.
God, it's been so long since I saw River's Edge.
What was the other one from that era? I want to say ... Permanent Record? Or something like that.
We own Escape From New York. Snake Plisskin! Classic.
