That list is odd. However, it does make me want to see The Century of the Self.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

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.

I so did not like Let The Right One In. It might qualify for a dysfunctional relationship of the decade, though.
Sweeney Todd! Sweeney Todd!
(Yes, I wanted those two crazy kids to work it out, and go on making meat pies for years and years.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Top rentals of the year and how many times they were rented.
I don't think that includes download rentals, just in-store and online. Though I could be wrong.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ah.
The numbers were pulled last week, and include in-store and by-mail rentals.
So no download rentals.

Right. I need to rent State of Play and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

I'm not sure what I missed about that movie that everyone else got. Might have been my heart. Or my sense of magic. I totally didn't get it. I thought it was twee, and I didn't feel for either of the protagonists or care if they ever got together.
