And Kevin Spacey (right?) getting his HAL on.
It looks a lot like an off=kilter version of Solaris...which I liked very much.
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'm watching Woody Allen's Interiors for the first time. This is one oppressively beige movie.
Oh, Tom, I feel for you. The ponderosity of that film is huge.
We saw Mysteries of Pittsburgh last night with our friends A&H. The film is not that good, but A did the props on the film so we went to be supportive. You can spot him at a funeral scene at the end (I won't say who in case any of you are actually going to see it) amongst the crowd. Got a kick out of knowing that during a very passionate gay sex scene in the film, A and his assistant were just out of camera range, holding the bed still so the headboard wouldn't bang into the wall.
Maybe I missed where someone else posted this, but apparently SMG is rumored to be in negotiations to star in a new Buffy movie.
[edit] OK discussed extensively in Buffy n' Angel thread. Sorry.
I suppose that will be AFTER she's given birth, I hope?
Apparently it's a rumour, and one started by a poster here.

Uh-oh. Is LSD gonna become trendy?
The Ultimate Trip: "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" Heads to the Big Screen
The onscreen version of Tom Wolfe's literary cult hit The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is primed to hit theaters by 2010. When published in 1968, the book shattered cultural perceptions of the peaceful, passive hippie zeitgeist by introducing the Merry Pranksters, author Ken Kesey's roving gonzo army of LSD-fueled pioneers who tripped about the country, mixing it up with rowdy Oregonians, Bay Area hippies, Hollywood rockers, Hell's Angels and a flurry of left-handed characters that launched the psychedelic movement into mainstream America and ushered in the Grateful Dead.
Over the years, footage and audio of the Oregon-based Merry Pranksters have surfaced, but was little more than ragged, disjointed documentation of the group tripping and weirding out. Except for Neal Cassady's endless speed-jacked rap, there was little narrative. Now, director Gus Van Sant, an Oregon native, is helming the book's adaptation to the big screen with Milk and Big Love writer Dustin Lance Black. Milk's director of photography Harris Savides is also committed to the film.
Huh. There's going to be a sequel to Nanny McPhee.
