Hey trivia fans!: The film's also referenced in The Frighteners. They rent a video about serial killers, and the cover has Lynskey and Winslet on it.

I could never decide between the two of them… though I probably came down slightly more in the Lynskey camp. Don't think I've seen her in a damn thing since (her teeny Frighteners cameo aside).

I kinda agree, Dan. I think that Heavenly Creatures and The Frighteners stand a fair bit above Jackson's other work… although I'd put The Frighteners ahead of Heavenly Creatures, so my judgement's even more questionable than yours.

Like the Happy Squirrel, I haven't seen this brilliant movie in ages. I was going to buy the DVD a couple of months back, but in the UK at least it seems surprisingly scarce and expensive (I smell a reissue to coincide with Lovely Bones). Still, it was on TV the other night, so I taped it.

Lovecraft, I'm pretty sure the Swamp Thing film pre-dates Moore's work on the character, which would explain it!

Whooty, you forgot the dark subplot where Mothra breaks Godzooky's spine.

Aaargh!

I've not read it, but "Loose Ends" is actually the first Moore issue, not "Anatomy Lesson". It's not in the paperback collections, presumably because it's largely a brushing up exercise, wrapping up plot points left over from the previous 20 issues.

HP Sauce, please change your avatar. Fenella the Witch used to give me nightmares when I was little… no joke.

I believe I read that Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Guggenheim with action set-pieces in mind.

I think you have to e-mail AVC your credit card details first.

Only The Shadow knows.

I think "There Will Be Blood" is a phrase. Not one in regular useage, but I don't think Anderson lifted it from anything in particular.

Moore's Swamp Thing is brilliant.
I bought the softcover collections so I won't be shelling out for this, although if it had been in black and white (the uncoloured art was way more striking), I might well have been persuaded.

People actually believe that DKR is in continuity?

Young Frankenstein's my favourite comedy too, and I own the DVD, and love a good audio commentary. Yet I've never listened to it. Guess that's my weekend viewing/listening planned.

The describing what's happening on screen commentaries are maddening, but less so than the ones with 3 minutes of silence between comments. I don't understand why a director would go in and do a commentary on their own and just wing it (unless they're blabbermouths like the aforementioned Whedon and Verhoeven……

Given the unintentionally comic aspects of Taken (apparently there are Frenchmen actually carrying baguettes under their arms), yeah, Campbell would likely have been a better choice.

Maybe Klaatu is black on his planet?

What, no love for Stan Lee's cameos? I always enjoy being momentarily ripped out of any Marvel-linked movie I'm watching purely for the perpetuation of a not-even-amusing-in-the-first-place joke.
