Spike ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
Fifteen movies reviewed in one post!
Howl's Moving Castle, Monster House, Miller's Crossing, A Scanner Darkly, Natural Born Killers, The Player, Gosford Park, The Apartment, Syriana, The Princess and the Warrior, subUrbia, The 400 Blows, Great Expectations, and Spellbound.
This looks interesting - a documentary on sword fights in the movies.
Have people seen this? It's very trippy, as you might expect.
Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí's Destino film
Here is Destino, the collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí. Production began in 1945 and the film didn't premier until 2003. Apparently, it will finally see an official home DVD release in 2010 along with a documentary about the two artists' history together.
I've only seen this 6:47 excerpt. I think I'll have to buy the DVD when it comes out.
I saw it at the LACMA a couple years ago and it was amazing. It's completely mesmerizing and beautiful.
Also, that's the whole thing, not an excerpt.

D'oh!
I've seen the whole thing before somewhere, and this time I just watched the first few minutes of it.
My daughter and I saw it at LACMA too. We watched it at least 3 times, it was just fascinating. The whole Dali exhibit was very interesting (she was there for a Spanish project, but I was glad I tagged along!) Very glad to hear it will be out on DVD next year.
Okay, I just saw the trailer for District 9, and I really want to see it. Wow.
I haven't watched this trailer yet because I'm at work.
If you liked "RoboGeisha," you'll love "Hausu"! I don't know anything about this movie, except that it was made in 1977, it involves a murderous lampshade, and you should probably not watch it if you don't like blood fountains, disembodied body parts, light fixtures, screaming cats, screaming cat paintings, or screaming cat paintings spewing blood. Maybe in the comments somebody would like to tell us what they're hollering about? Probably NSFW due to some disembodied boobs.
