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.
The Heath Ledger news made me do a triple-take when I saw it on CNN and exclaim loudly "What the fuck?!?!?"
This is going to make THE DARK KNIGHT a seriously creepy viewing experience - like THE CROW level creepy. The fact that Heath's Joker looks more like the Crow than any live-action Joker I've seen is only going to add to the creepy factor.
here's NYT's article. Sad sad shit. Sounds like the police are going for accidental death pre-coroner's report.
no illegal drugs found in the loft. So, maybe his staff did a marvelous job cleaning up or this was accidental... [link]
Oh dear. I can't believe it took me this late to find this out. That sucks so much. RIP Heath. That is painfully sad.
In other movie-related news, is it strange that the Oscar race I find myself caring most about is Best Original Song? I just can't choose between the "Happy Working Song" and "Falling Slowly," though I'd probably vote for the latter since it actually stands alone as great music.
I'm totally bummed there isn't a song award for the Emmys.
Because we've been singing Flight of the Conchords Robot song all week.
"The humans are dead! / the humans are dead!/ We used poisonous gases / to poison their asses..."

We no longer say "yes." Instead we say "affirmative."
Yes, affirmative.

Seriously, Emmett and JZ and I were singing it all weekend. We haven't been this earwormed as a family since the Invader Zim xmas song.
Well you know, it's kind of ironic...
Who said that?
....not me....
zzzzzpppwww! zpw!!
The future of Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is in question now that Heath Ledger is dead.
Man, Gilliam can't win for losing these days.
