Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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.

Dude, you haven't seen but like eleven movies.
Have you seen any Pier Pasolini?
How about the Saragossa Manuscript?
Anything by Guy Maddin? Ford? Hawks? L'atlante?
I take it back. You've seen twelve movies.

Seriously, though, have you seen any Hong Kong action movies from the 80s? Anything with Chow Yun Fat? Full Contact? Ringo Lam movies? City on Fire? Ricky O?

Ford? Hawks?
If you mean John and Howard, yes.

No, but I gather none of them begin with Clive Owen KILLING A MAN WITH A CARROT.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This comment reaches T-Rex levels of awesome.

Strega, have you seen Shoot 'Em Up ? I think you'd love it since you loved the similarly awesomely ridiculous Crank. This movie is more self-aware about its ridiculousness and broaches new levels of absurdity. Granted, there are no buildings spouting blood, but still.

This looks interesting - a documentary on sword fights in the movies.
Does it include the 20 minute sword fight at the end of Scaramouche? Because though it has probably been exceeded many times since I still remember it as the most awesome movie sword fight ever.

OH YEAH. P-C should really give Salo a try.
