Brazil ~ writer/dir. Terry Gilliam

Saw that one in the '80s.   :)

Don't remember much. Maybe I should see it again sometime.

I love Brazil, seen it several times.  Biting satire, alternating between funny and depressing Orwellian vision of the future.

I didn't know Fred Astaire was in that movie.



And why isn't this in What Movie Did You Last Watch?

DavidW

I watched Grave Encounters.  I was expecting yet another Paranormal Activity-esque movie.  But it was way more awesome than that!  They were far more adventurous and I really liked it.

Wow! It really does look like Fred Astaire!



I guess I could have put it either place.  No rules says The GMG SF/Fantasy/Horror Club is only about books, right?  Anyway, not much interest here it seems.

Anyone seen Cabin In the Woods yet?

Much interest, very good film, might be Gilliams best. I truly love Jim Broadbent's small role as the plastic surgeon.
It's also one of the great studio vs. filmmaker stories in film history.

When my co-worker had a defreckling procedure with long-lasting effects (now subsided, thankfully), I kept thinking of that line: "My little complication's had a little complication."

(Not the correct quote, according to Google, but how I remember it.)


Dave, Cabin in the Woods is definitely on my watchlist.

I just noticed that 23 Fangs the final novel in David Wellington's vampire series is out now.  I thought that the first three novels in the series were awesome, the fourth was weaker (but still good) because instead of wrapping up the story he left it hanging for this final novel.



My favorite Wellington novels are his Werewolf novels.

Doesn't anyone around here crave vintage cheese like Frankenstein vs the Space Monster, or Zontar?

Brad Pitt no less recalls War of the Gargantuas as his first. I remember the bathtub 'o' blood from The Tingler,...wooo, scary! :-X

Reportedly, Andy Warhol's favourite film was Creation of the Humanoids.

The cover of the DVD available through Amazon isn't nearly as cool as this poster:



One of the actors had the awesome manly name of Dudley Manlove! (also known to fans of Ed Wood)

Has anyone had a chance to see The Avengers yet? I heard it was quite good.

DavidW

Yes both Abe and I posted about it on the movie thread.  It is very good, check it out! :)

Which one?  There were two.  I didn't stay to watch them, that's just sitting around for the sake of advertising.  But the other scene is a nice touch, wouldn't mind having seen that.

Don't want to spoil it too much, but it revealed a new certain someone to the mix.
Wasn't aware another one.

The other scene is them eating dinner together in a wrecked diner, specifically the place Iron Man mentioned having a craving for during the fight. :D
