Closed Film and TV threads

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm really curious to see Basterds now.

ION, check out what I found on YouTube: Bob Clampett's animation demos for the unproduced John Carter of Mars feature. This was proposed in 1931, predating Snow White.

But distributors from he Midwest dissuaded MGM from pursuing it, saying that middle America would never buy such outlandishness. Despite (a) ERB's stories being immensely popular for decades and (b) Flash Gordon serials being successful a few years later.

Anyway, Andrew Stanton will be releasing (I hope) his John Carter in 2012.

they were able to find them by how they used a knife and fork.

Did it involve keeping the fork in their left hand? Trust the Germans to find the most efficient way to dine.

I'm curious to hear your opinion if and when.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Did it involve keeping the fork in their left hand?

Yes, but it was more specific than that -- something along the lines of holding the fork upside down in the left hand on the plate while pushing the food onto it with a knife in the right.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You should see it with me so you can explain all the homages and references to me.

Have you ever seen any Spaghetti Westerns? Did you know there were also Curry Westerns?

I have seen the Dollars Trilogy! But I am not sure what makes a Western spaghetti, exactly.

Did you know there were also Curry Westerns?

...No. Were there singing and dancing cowboys?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

We have had movies with those, but I don't think they were Curry Westerns.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

It's too much to sum up: Spaghetti Western
