I get a twitch when people refer to The Thing from 1982 as "the original." It was a remake!
But it was much closer to the original story.
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My exDH worked on that. His dad is a glaciologist and the arctic stuff was shot at their camp on a glacier outside Juneau. His main memory was of the dog trainer (Rob Weatherwax, son of the trainer of Lassie) smoking pot and complained about how much he hated Lassie.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Aww man, Canadian actress Tracy Wright died.
I met her a few years ago when Monkey Warfare premiered in Boston. Her husband and collaborator Don McKellar gave me a vinyl copy of the soundtrack (because I was one of the few people in the audience who said they owned a turntable), and they both autographed it for me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, that's sad. I don't know her, but I know Don McKellar from Last Night and Slings and Arrows.

She was in both those films, P-C. I knew her mostly from Monkey Warfare and Me & You & Everyone We Know.

That's so sad. Especially pancreatic cancer - what an awful way to go.

It is very sad. She was great and in a lot of great stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, for fuck's sake. I think time is better spent remaking Buffy, honestly.
I'd be happy to be proven wrong...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm waiting for the movie versions of Connect Four and Hungry Hungry Hippos.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Please someone tell me that's a hoax.
