Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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 stumbled onto Zardoz really late one night a few years back. I could not turn the TV off, it was so oddly compelling.
The DVD has a commentary by Boorman which is basically two hours of "I'm not sure why I did that. I'm not sure why I did that either."
I got to admit, bad movies by Boorman tend to be compelling (see also, if you dare, Exorcist II: The Heretic). They certainly aren't boring.
Apparently Zachary Quinto just sent a facet of fandom into a tizzy by saying he wasn't doing any more Spock for two years. He had to post on his site that he meant apart from the movie--he's not doing any conventions or anything in the meanwhile. No Spock until the movie.
I guess he's assuming he's going to be pulling a paycheque for Heroes or conventions as Sylar?
The DVD has a commentary by Boorman which is basically two hours of "I'm not sure why I did that. I'm not sure why I did that either."
One of my favorite commentary tracks of all time. "I...don't know what this scene was about, actually. I don't really remember shooting it..."
The Steven Soderbergh/Mike Nichols commentary on the Catch-22 dvd is awesome like that. I really enjoyed when Nichols talked about casting and also how difficult it was to get the movie to deal with the book's non-linear narration.
I have that at home, but I don't think I've listened to the commentary. Guess I know my plans for tonight.
Oh DJ, you will LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's awesome.
I love the book and the movie, and was rather impressed that they were able to make a movie out of it.
It's just so nice to be able to listen to two of my favorite film makers just sit back and shoot the breeze about it, ya know?
So Bad, It’s Good: King Crab Attack Movie Trailer
Hopefully it'll be funny, as the trailer itself is funny.
It’s no Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, but as far as schlocky movies about super-sized monsters rising from the ocean depths go, King Crab Attack looks like a strong contender.
Even without Lorenzo Lamas and Debbie Gibson co-starring alongside the churlish crustaceans.
This looks goooood--Hubble 3D in IMAX!
