It's the high-speed Internet that's expensive.
Tell me about it. My Internet is through Sonic, which is the fastest I can get without getting it via Comcast, and it's still $70/month for only 8Mbps max.
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.

Goodness that is a stacked cast. And looks like it would have been a blast to make. Tilda Swinton as *spoiler* wielding mortician!!
After dithering a bit, I signed up for Criterion Channel earlier today -- paid for the whole year in advance.
I celebrated my better-than-expected tax-number-crunching results by biting that bullet.
This post brought to you by the fact that I have about a dozen movies checked out the library right now but nothing I want watch.

So I found out when I almost blinded Dana on my very first Buffista post.
"My eyes!" she cried out.

I feel this.
I started Raging Bull. stopped after 10 min. I started Airport. stopped after about 12 min. I started The Emigrants. stopped after about 20 min.
I have from the Library: An Unmarried Woman, Up in the Air, and Sideways.

Barring one scene, I like Sideways quite a bit. But I have a certain fondness for Solvang in particular (and wine in general) so that may play a role. I remember liking Up in the Air when I saw it in theaters, but I wouldn't think it has aged well.
I saw Airport a number of years ago. I didn't think it was great moviemaking, but I enjoyed it. Owes more to older movies (maybe '50s soap opera types like Imitation of Life, Peyton Place) than to anything that was New when it was made.
Big multi-plot, cast of thousands disaster movies were all the rage back then. Several of them were based on books. I enjoyed seeing how the different characters would intersect.
I wish I could find a complete uncut version of Goliath Awaits.
