That Star Wars one baffled me for a moment, then I realized it was very cool.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

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.

Thank God Neil Gaiman's on the anti- list.
Woody Allen signed. Andrew Sullivan commented on this amazing "lack of self-awareness."
Or, Allen was thinking "I'd hit that too. Even if she wasn't my own daughter."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh dear....
Improbable movie trading cards
The Improbable Movie Trading Cards contain the answer to the question that's plagued us all for decades: "What would the kid's merchandising for Apocalypse Now look like?"
The actual site isn't loading for me, so I've posted this Boing Boing summary....

Zombieland = good, blood-spattered fun. And I'm not kidding about the blood-spattered part. This is not a movie for the squeamish. Me? I so can't wait for it to be released on DVD.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, while I was at Kayo Books today scoring...
Anubis Gates by Tim Powers and Infernal Devices by K.W. Jeter - two of the earliest steampunk books. (Not counting Verne and Welles, et al.)
...I also picked up an issue of the magazine Cinefantastique from 1974.
Check out the contents:
Cover: Phantom of the Paradise (with in-depth article and interview with DePalma)
Feature on Last Days of Man on Earth, which I didn't even know existed. It's a Jerry Cornelius movie of
The Final Programme
directed by the guy who did the Dr. Phibes movies! Must find.
Feature on The Stepford Wives (w/ Katharine Ross)
Feature on the new Space: 1999
Cool sidebar on how filming has begun on the stage musical Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Reviews of: The Little Prince (the movie. Which I also didn't know existed); the horror movie Seizure, Jaws, Closed Mondays (the Oscar winning Claymation short).
Capsule reviews of: Deafula (?); Trilogy of Terror (creep ass movie with Karen Black and skittery little things under the bed); Escape from Witch Mountain; The Werewolf of Woodstock (?).
Cool beans! So...who's seen this Jerry Cornelius movie?
Oooh, a trailer.
Looks like a Zardoz level flustercluck.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH and I watched Bottle Shock last night and it was cute! Loved Alan Rickman and Eliza Dushku.

Dude - I also own that issue. Sadly CFQ went steadily downhill during the 80s (where before it was the Film Comment/Sight & Sound of SF/Horror/Fantasy and tertiary genre films) and never got its vibe back. Loved CFQ in its heyday though.
Video Watchdog has been the closest replacement for it that I've found, outside of when the aforementioned FC/S&S cover the same territory.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They also had a lot of classic issues of Sight and Sound at Kayo. I was tempted to pick up the sixties issue with Deneuve on the cover (for Umbrellas).
They also had a lot of Film Comment, American Film, Film and Filmmaking, Film Threat and Filmfax.
