I'm watching the director's cut of Hot Taco on a Cold Night. The Proustian beauty and chiaroscuro are stunning.

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.

Nah, all the movies I make up are in Czech.
Hot Taco on a Cold Night
Dirty!
Hot Taco on a Cold Night
I bet if this had been written in Czech we would have totally bought it.

The title in Czech is even dirtier. It involves a sousaphone. (Which makes no sense, but hey, *I* didn't translate it.)
Horký Sousaphone Chlad Noc
We open on a filthy, tiny apartment crammed full of boxes of contraband salsa. A man and women lie amidst the filth, paralyzed with ennui. On an ancient turntable, a warped LP is playing out-of-phase marching band music
MAN: (subtitled) The sousaphone. So... unappreciated. So... beautiful. Like an enormous flower. Or a taco grande.
WOMAN: (subtitled) The night is colder when I hear your hateful words, Vrksk. Speak to me no more.
MAN: (subtitled) All is misery.
WOMAN: (subtitled) Aaaah! I should kill myself!
MAN: (subtitled) All is misery.
They have listless sex. The screen fades, far too slowly, to black, although the annoying and diffident sounds of the hate-sex continue to assault the viewer's will to live. Eventually, from the hellish dark, rises the word:
FIN
So you've seen it, then.
The most shocking thing about it was that it was remade into American Pie Presents Band Camp.
Huh. I was just talking about the movie Panic Room with someone the other day (in person, but still, maybe one of youse? megan?) and decided to look up who played the kid. It was Kristen Stewart, of Twilight (which I've not seen).
Yep. That's where I first saw her, I think.
