That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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.

Oh, I want that huge and framed. "It's just a little bunny!"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Oh that is beautiful.

I loved L'Auberge Espagnole because of the way all the different languages and cultures came together in one household. I did think some fo the characters were mean but not all of them and I found their interactions to be more realistic than in your average USian film.

I'm watching Unforgiven again on AMC (they're having a Clint day). Every time I watch this movie, I get something new out of it. I just noticed this time through that the very first scene of the film is about the specific decisions that Little Bill and Skinny make that lead directly to their deaths at the hands of William Munny at the film's climax.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

We just watched The Crazies, which is a remake of a George Romero movie from the 70s. I liked it, and it passed my horror movie test of people actually acting intelligently. I only yelled at the screen a few times. Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell as the main characters, and the wife was just as smart and effective and active as the husband.

Good to know, Dana! I thought it looked good, and I can always use more Timothy Olyphant in my life.

I love Unforgiven, Sean. I watched it yesterday, too. Really a masterpiece, I think.

The news was much worse for The Last Airbender, which fell off an astonishing 57.5% from its opening week, taking $17.1 million for fifth and likely dashing any plans to continue the trilogy.

Oh, darn.

The Kids Are All Right, which posted an absurd $72,143 per screen on seven screens and positioned itself as 2010’s first Oscar contender.

Wow. I've heard nothing but good things about this film.

Oh, darn.

Seeing as I got more entertainment from Eclipse than TLA, I'm not surprised. Ok, most of my entertainment came from sparkly vampire mocking fodder, but still. It is so disappointing though because there was SO MUCH that could have been done to make it fantastic.

I'm debating whether I want to risk seeing Vampires Suck next month. (It's the spoof of the Twilight movies made by the parties responsible for Date Movie, Epic Movie, etc.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Why are you even considering it??
