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.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What part of Secret Dwarf Hooker is not better?

There are a lot of adjectives I could throw at that-wilder, more interesting, skankier...but I couldn't actually call it good.

I gotta agree with Jesse and tommyrot. That's bad-movie nirvana.
It would almost be worth seeing with an audience just to see the reaction at the reveal.
