Dude, I'm not sure anything tops the carnivorous piano, so I'm thinking that should be your watermark for fucked up.
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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."

True, it's only mildly fucked up in a rubber-chicken-on-your-head kind of way.
I'm just wondering if they copped her look in Superman from Servalan.
(She was in the Jerry Cornelius movie, incidentally, which is why I looked her up.)

The Little Prince (the movie. Which I also didn't know existed)
I've seen it! It's not too bad, but definitely not very memorable. Gene Wilder is great as the Fox, and it was Bob Fosse's last feature film song-and-dance performance (as the Snake).

Holy shit! Stanley Donen directed The Little Prince. You don't see that mentioned on his resume a whole lot (less than Saturn 3 and Blame it on Rio even).
Huh, Will Vinton did a claymation version as well in 1979.
Also, Saturn 3's screenplay? Martin Amis. Yes, that one.

move out and draw fire
Looks like a Zardoz level flustercluck.
In response to someone who couldn't believe I knew of, let alone had seen, Zardoz, I said, "Heck, I'm going as Zardoz for Halloween."
Now there's a group costume in the works, with a friend making a Big Stone Head.
Odds of everyone thinking I'm going as "Vampirella FAIL" are pretty good.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
OK, the above is downright hilarious and awesome, but how could you go as Zardoz AND your costume be "Vampirella FAIL" when Zardoz was the big giant head?
Now if you're going as Zed, that would be another story. And I think we'd ALL want pictures.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I finally saw Inglourious Basterds. I like Strega's earlier description of "a series of tense conversations, punctuated by bursts of violence." I liked a lot about the movie, but I'm not sure I like it as a complete movie. It felt like two movies, neither of which reached its full potential, rather than one great movie.
I am a Tarantino fan, and I love that his movies are so unconventional (I haven't seen Jackie Brown ). But I don't think this was his best work.

You definitely should. In a lot of ways, its a very sad movie, but it's also hilarious in a lot of places.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
DH and I watched Bottle Shock last night and it was cute! Loved Alan Rickman and Eliza Dushku.
We saw it last week too! Not the greatest movie ever, but wonderful for a night in. Sweet story, and yes Rickman is awesome in it.
I'm pretty sure I've fucked with my Queue lately, so I have no idea what we're getting next.
Just checked and it looks like Brothers Bloom, Waltz with Bashir, and Monsoon Wedding.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Also, that reminds me, I will be writing another thing to go up in a place. Worked on it a bit Friday, but I think I get off topic, or at least I'm not sticking to what I start off writing about.
Anyone have any opinions about fashion in movies? The first thing that came to my mind was the LBD in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
