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.
My copy of Old Possum has illustrations by Nicholas Bentley. I've had it forever--but I'd love to have the Gorey one.
I'd never seen a dilute calico cat before, and the little stray looked like she'd been splashed with paint; she had spots, or dots. I named her Jennyanydots. She was with us 15 years.
I'm also watching Logan's Run for the first time, and honestly, I'd rather be watching Cats.
Logan's Run was impressive back when it was new and I was impressionable. "Not held up well" is a good definition.
ETA: Proto-Farrah, though. Pretty Michael York. And Jenny Agutter was in a couple of the MCU movies as the Brit whose face Natasha used to infiltrate the meeting.
I expect someone will (or has already) started taking pictures of their cats with the human-sized items from the trailer, to show Reality Scale.

I have a substantially-younger friend who I made watch this recently (I felt it has sufficient pop culture staying power that she ought to know the source material. Plus it was SO COOL when I was a kid). Turns out it's also ripe for MST3K-style treatment, if your senses of humor happen to run that way.
And thanks to you people, though I have no particular intention to watch the movie, if somehow I do, it's going to be very difficult not to shout, "Renew! Renew!" all through Grizabella's big number.
Has anyone else seen Fast Color? I missed it in theaters (apparently it was in limited release back in April) but I caught it on Amazon this weekend and it's really good. It's a small indie sci-fi movie (post-apocalyptic, natch) about three generations of black women who can take apart and reassemble things with their minds.
RIP Rutger Hauer.
Goddammit.
Oh, no. Really? Sad.
Oh man, I loved him.
