Rocky Horror is a thing unto itself. It cannot be compared to anything else. Nor can Plan 9, for that matter, but each for their own unique reasons.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just saw An Education. I recommend it--great script by Nick Hornby (except the last 20 minutes or so, which feels a bit superfluous) and Carey Mulligan, who was Sally Sparrow in "Blink," is completely brilliant.

That's why she's so familiar.

Anybody seen The Vampire's Assistant ? I'm intrigued because I think John C Riley could really chew the scenery....

The commercials have actually made me want to see it. I don't expect it to be *good,* per se, but it looks entertaining.

I want to see it, but I refuse to until I get a report from someone who has. Not to find out if it's *good*, but to find out if the plot point of the GIANT PSYCHIC TELEPATHIC SPIDER is absent from the movie. That's why I didn't read the books.

Because books.
I paged through Jake's copy of the first book, and it looks like they changed the tone quite a bit for the movie -- made it campier and funnier. No idea about what Jilli said, though.

I had started reading the first book, and I get the idea that I would have found the series a lot of fun, if it weren't for that thing I mentioned.

It came off too young for me to enjoy, but yeah, I can see where it would not be your thing thanks to ... that thing.

Saw District 9 yesterday. What an amazing movie. A few people walked out, but I'm not surprised in this town. They probably saw the name Peter Jackson and weren't expecting something so grim. The scene where they made Wikus test the weapons was harrowing.
