Tombstone is good, I like Everett Hitch from Appaloosa better as a character than the individual characters in Tombstone. Although you gotta tip the hat to Doc

damn, I really want to see Appaloosa

I just finished watching Shadow Of The Vampire. Great film. I really liked how they transition from color to the grainy black and white film when they did shots for the film.

And the scene where "Schreck" kills the man on the ship made me lol.

Last night I watched Tombstone (for the one hundredth time most likely). I still like that movie, there's just something about it that makes me feel good.

Tombstone is a classic. Sometimes I'll turn it on just to watch all the Doc Holliday scenes.

Yes you are a good woman...or you may be the devil

Finally saw Expelled a couple nights ago. Surely the world record for longest-sustained facepalm.

So I'm purging myself by watching some Richard Dawkins lectures.

i watched a few scenes of perfect blue 'cause i was thinking about how it relates to mulholland drive. i think lynch basically ripped it off actually haha, although more likely they both just coincidentally borrowed from the same sources (hitchcock + bergman primarily)

i think they're both in my top 5 movies of all time anyway. stuff like that just gets to me on such a fundamental level. it's the same feeling i get when i listen to my favourite band (mad river), too, in all cases it's this kind of desperate futile striving for peace from a place of horror and despair, the process of pure idyllic dream being corrupted by sickening reality. why that appeals to me so much i'm not sure i'll ever fully understand.

I really liked the movie Running Scared.

 

[Melodeath]

Highly doubtful.

WooHoo, I got Freaks on the way from BB.com.

The genesis of MGM's Freaks was a magazine piece by Ted Robbins titled Spurs. The story involved a terrible revenge enacted by a mean-spirited circus midget upon his normal-sized wife. In adapting Spurs for the screen, writers Willis Goldbeck, Leon Gordon, Edgar Allan Wolf, and Al Boasberg retained the circus setting and the little man-big woman wedding, all the while de-vilifying the midget and transforming the woman into the true "heavy" of the piece. German "little person" Harry Earles plays Hans, who falls in love with long-legged trapeze artist Cleopatra (Olga Baclanova). Discovering that Hans is heir to a fortune, Cleopatra inveigles him into a marriage, all the while planning to bump off her new husband and run away with brutish strongman Hercules (Henry Victor). What she doesn't reckon with is the code of honor among circus freaks: "offend one, offend them all." What set this film apart from director Tod Browning's earlier efforts was the fact that genuine circus and carnival sideshow performers were cast as the freaks: Harry Earles and his equally diminutive sister Daisy, Siamese twins Violet and Daisy Hilton, legless Johnny Eck, armless-legless Randian (who rolls cigarettes with his teeth), androgynous Josephine-Joseph, "pinheads" Schlitzie, Elvira, Jennie Lee Snow, and so on. Upon its initial release, Freaks was greeted with such revulsion from movie-house audiences that MGM spent the next 30 years distancing themselves as far from the project as possible. For many years available only in a truncated reissue version titled Nature's Mistakes, Freaks was eventually restored to its original release print. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I really liked the movie Running Scared.

I loved Running Scared, which sucks, because now I can no longer make the blanket statement that "All Paul Walker movies suck".

He still is one of the worst actors in Hollywood.
