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.

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.

YouTube has the trailer: [link]

"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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I saw PA last year. It creeped everyone out at the screening but me -- even so it's still a no-budget movie with non-actors, not the second coming of Halloween.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Huh. Interesting article on the flopping of Jennifer's Body [link] which in turn points to another interesting link [link] which points to someone who ran the numbers that matched my gut-glance at Rotten Tomatoes on the genderskew in reviews. [link]

(I maintain that, while uneven, it's the most thought-provoking movie I've seen in a long time.)

Because books.

I pissed I didn't get it to see it with being sick, and I'm not sure it's around up here anymore.

I want to see Good Hair. The commercials crack me up!

It'll play well on the small screen. I'm going to buy it on DVD as soon as it comes out.

Because books.

It sounds like it's going to have a long, culty life on DVD, so. And it is still here! But I don't know if that'll be true this weekend.

Whatever online service sells advance tickets is your friend for things like this, though usually only the Weds. before Friday.
