I pissed I didn't get it to see it with being sick, and I'm not sure it's around up here anymore.
It'll play well on the small screen. I'm going to buy it on DVD as soon as it comes out.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

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.

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.

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.

Not sure if it counts as screwball, but one of my very favorites from that era is Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.

I think of it that way, but that's mostly because of Myrna Loy.
In one of my favorite scenes ever:
Muriel Blandings: I want it to be a soft green, not as blue-green as a robin's egg, but not as yellow-green as daffodil buds. Now, the only sample I could get is a little too yellow, but don't let whoever does it go to the other extreme and get it too blue. It should just be a sort of grayish-yellow-green. Now, the dining room. I'd like yellow. Not just yellow; a very gay yellow. Something bright and sunshine-y. I tell you, Mr. PeDelford, if you'll send one of your men to the grocer for a pound of their best butter, and match that exactly, you can't go wrong! Now, this is the paper we're going to use in the hall. It's flowered, but I don't want the ceiling to match any of the colors of the flowers. There's some little dots in the background, and it's these dots I want you to match. Not the little greenish dot near the hollyhock leaf, but the little bluish dot between the rosebud and the delphinium blossom. Is that clear? Now the kitchen is to be white. Not a cold, antiseptic hospital white. A little warmer, but still, not to suggest any other color but white. Now for the powder room - in here - I want you to match this thread, and don't lose it. It's the only spool I have and I had an awful time finding it! As you can see, it's practically an apple red. Somewhere between a healthy winesap and an unripened Jonathan. Oh, excuse me...
Mr. PeDelford: You got that Charlie?
Charlie, Painter: Red, green, blue, yellow, white.
Mr. PeDelford: Check.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I read a review elsewhere of Jennifer's Body and put it in my queue when it comes out on DVD.
Also the comments on the Rotten Tomatoes post make me ill.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.
I thought this movie was a joke and the trailer I saw months ago was a mashup from a fan put on youtube. My, how I was wrong. After seeing this trailer, I am firmly in the "do not want to see under any circumstances, not even on a plane."
