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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My Man Godfrey is on TCM right now. I've never seen it and come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen anything Lombard or Powell. So I will fix this, now.

That is one of my favorite screwballs. And both of them are great.
