Just got back from Jennifer's Body, thought it was interesting in a post-Buffy way. Dug up an interview with the director. They talk about quite a few things, the most surprising to me was that John Sayles worked on an unproduced Brother Termite script.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

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.

Jennifer's Body is going to be a cult favorite, I am pretty sure. Once it hit its stride, it totally sucked me in, and I think it will improve on rewatch.

Zoolander is one big fashion in-joke, down to Mila last-name-I-can't-spell (she played the evil henchwoman); her entire wardrobe in the movie was reproductions of Thierry Mugler couture designs.
I foget, did she actually wear the infamous motorcycle dress in that?

Sadly, no. That would have been a glorious moment.

Why the HELL aren't you people talking about Zombieland which was certainly worth the 89% approval rating it got on the Tomatometer? Which, being a zombie movie comedy is seriously uphill work, folks.
BTW do not DO NOT get spoiled for the special guest star who shows up halfway through. (I'm not even going to whitefont it here.) If somebody starts talkign about hte movie, make sure they know immediately you don't want to be spoiled. Don't go to IMDB, either. Actual violence to make spoilerers stop isn't entirely out of place.

Ha, awesome. The EW Bullseye included "The special cameo in Zombieland." Now I am intrigued!

I saw it yesterday afternoon. It is indeed awesome. I'm so very thankful they're including the falling piano clip in the promos so people will get that it's a comedy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Has anyone seen the Howard Hughes film Hell's Angels? The making of this film was featured prominently in The Aviator.
Anyway, here's something I didn't know:
For the World War One based Hell’s Angels, Hughes - aged just 23 - basically assembled the world’s largest private air force - approximately ninety aircraft - at a cost of around $600,000
For the scene in which the Gotha bomber (above) was shot down, Hughes insisted that the aircraft be put into a spin - with the aircrew bailing out if necessary. Daredevil pilot Al Wilson accepted, for the sum of $10,000. A mechanic named Phil Jones volunteered to be his assistant, releasing black smoke to simulate the aircraft being hit by gunfire. Jones lost his life when the aircraft fell to earth during the filming of the scene.
Two other stunt pilots died whilst involved with the movie, including Al Johnson of the legendary 13 Black Cats. Hughes himself was injured crashing a plane (allegedly whilst trying to micro-manage his stunt pilots in the air)
Damn.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Unfortunately, I remember Hell's Angels mainly for Jean Harlow's amazing presence but terrible acting as The Vamp.

I think the only Jean Harlow film I've seen is Dinner at Eight, which concludes with this classic bit between her and Marie Dressler.
