Better late than never.  The TRIBUTE, not the...  you know.

"Screws fall out all the time. The world is an imperfect place."  - John Bender, The Breakfast Club.

OH. HEY. There is now a comm for that:  [livejournal.com profile] hughesficcomm   I owe someone a completed story I began ages ago and really ought to get to it.

We don't see many movies in the theatre anymore. I think the last one was the latest Indiana Jones flick.  (Which was worth it because the poor staff decorated the entrance to the screening with vines and had to dress up in costumes and we had LOLZ along with our greasy butter-hands.)

So the spouse brought some DVDs home: The Bank Job and Transsiberian.

BOTH had some surprise shit I just hate in them because it SQUICKS me out but I'm only going to spoil Transsiberian under the cut.

Spoilaz )

Another thing I despise: Creepy (often apparently inbred) freaks terrorizing stranded/lost travelers. 

Do you have any unusual squicks related to films you wish they'd warn about?  Surprise clowns, something like that?

By the way, I saw this product in a GIANT bottle at the supermarket today and it made me larf.  Head Lube. It's glossy!

@GeekTyrant, I feel you on the (lame ass) plans to remake Hitchcock's The Birds and also Poltergeist. WTF.  Story at TheWrap.

“”Poltergeist” was a seminal film for us, you know, in our lives, and it’s like your dad’s classic vintage car that’s been in the garage and you’re not allowed to touch it,” says (screenwriter Stiles) White.  “It’s treasured; it’s valuable.  We see 'Poltergeist' as if, um, as if we’re being handed the keys to the car and we’re gonna be really careful with it.”

It's Cameron Frye's dad's car. LEAVE IT IN THE GARAGE.  Or you know, write some fanfic and post it on the internet.  And then write something new or adapt one of the gazillion books in existence which hasn't already been made into a film people really liked. Because you're going to ruin the magic of the originals.

Yeah, I know they're "just" horror flicks. But they don't go off.

Just realized that Stockard Channing was 33 when she played a high school senior in Grease, my first "fandom" film. (I love her in everything, even the rubbishy Up Close and Personal.)  What a great speaking voice.

She looked pretty damned good . Actually, every supposed high schooler in the film was well... old. A film producer would never do that today. Oh God... please don't remake Grease with Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.
