'Beneath You'
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.
I can't see youtube from here--where's the party?
It's an Australian horror movie from 1981 called Dead Kids (aka, Strange Behavior) and everybody's in a mid-sixties pop culture costume. So I Dream of Jeannie and Batman, and they're dancing to a weird sixties pop hit. The choreography is both awesome and cheesy and then everybody gets stabinated.

I saw that back in the day at an all-night horror movie festival. Fun movie, in a VERY gory sort of way. Also, a couple of scenes really combine eye and needle issues in an unpleasant way.
The same guy made the also intriguing Strange Invaders, and then seems to have disappeared (one more movie per the IMDB). He also produced Two-Lane Blacktop! Whoa!
Any Bay Area-istas want to see a free screening of Invictus in San Francisco tonight at 7? You'd have to get to the theatre at least an hour early.
My friend Tom posted his response to Film Comment's 2009 survey, so if you like lists, this has his picks for the best of 2009, best of 1999, best of the decade, best filmmakers, etc.
Definitely an interesting list for exploring Asian cinema. Strange that he ranks directors like Eastwood and Chan Wook as best of the decade, but doesn't pick any of their movies in the top 50 of the same period.
I've seen more of his 1999 list than 2009 (didn't get out much), and I disagree strongly with some of it. I thought that The Sixth Sense was such a dumb movie that it almost contaminates the others near it. And I never got the hype about Run Lola Run. I found the characters uninvolving.
Well, there's some vague talk from Viggo about appearing in Hobbit 2: Halfing Boogaloo.
ita, that really hit my funny bone for some reason.
There's actually very good reason for Legolas to show up in Mirkwood - he's the son of Thranduil, the king of the Mirkwood elves.
Exactly. I wonder if we'll see him in that last battle.
