Billie Burke also has a great moment in Dinner at Eight with her reaction to a problem with the aspic.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

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.

Why the HELL aren't you people talking about Zombieland which was certainly worth the 89% approval rating it got on the Tomatometer?
I burbled about it up-thread! I loved Zombieland! I want to go see it again!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
'My Black Friend' headed to big screen
Lionsgate and Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Films are partnering to develop the comedy "Will You Be My Black Friend?" with Chris Rock starring.
The project stems from a November GQ magazine article written by senior correspondent Devin Friedman, who began a self-conscious search for black friends on Craigslist. The white, married Manhattan journalist then pursued his quixotic quest to expand his social circle, with unexpected results.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, but how could that go wrong?

More details on the Timing with CFerg and Sean Maher.
The timing looks like it would conflict with Eureka shooting, but I haven't gotten around to actually asking him about it yet.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
So...who's seen this Jerry Cornelius movie?
I have! Of course, it was about 25 or 30 years ago, so my recollection is very hazy. Back then I was right into Moorcock, and read all the Jerry Cornelius novels, so I was very excited to learn they'd made a movie of The Final Programme. I barely remember the movie but I do recall it was a let-down; it was very confusing but I suspect that was more the result of censorship, since it was on TV back in the late 70s slash early 80s.

"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
On the Paranormal Activity front, I've heard good things about it, but am somewhat reluctant to travel and see it. As someone who's had a few creepy nighttime things happen over the years, I suspect it would weird me out in ways that more blatant in-your-face horror movies can't.
