Hot Taco on a Cold Night
I bet if this had been written in Czech we would have totally bought it.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

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.

Hot Taco on a Cold Night
Dirty!
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

The most shocking thing about it was that it was remade into American Pie Presents Band Camp.

Our wings are not tired.
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).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yep. That's where I first saw her, I think.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm realizing that Sam Worthington's last three big films he was half-human or dealing with issues of humanity and identity.

Has anyone heard much about the upcoming Luc Besson film Les aventures d'Adele Blanc-Sec? An archaeologist friend posted the trailer (saying, move over Indiana Jones!). Here's a trailer, which appears to include a pterodactyl AND a mummy. [link] Train wreck, or great fun?
