There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have been mainlining movies what with the new gig.

2 I most def recommend-Pontypool & Allegro Non Troppo.

The first is a smart semi-zombie dark humor thing (I say semi-zombie, because they are not, in fact reanimated dead people, and I found it humorous though I can see where someone else might not)

The second is the anti-Fantasia and is going in my top 5.

Allegro Non Troppo

Love that!! I fear I can never watch it again, because the episode with the kitten broke me when I saw it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

2012 is 158 minutes long? Holy crap.

And Danny Glover plays the President? Do these people have no sense of irony?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Killer frost, Dana. Does that answer your question?

Killer frost that can be stopped by slamming a door in its face, no less.

Question for the hivemind:

freeze frame or freeze-frame?

I'd say the first if it's a noun and the second if it's an adjective.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd say the first for a noun and the second for a verb. I'm currently drawing a blank on its usage as an adjective.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

In this chapter, it's only used a noun.

My author is a master of inconsistency: mise-en-scene or mise en scene, voiceover or voice-over, freeze frame or freeze-frame, you know, whatever.
