yendi1. If you're in any way interested in David Cronenberg (who, aside from being one of the stars of Jason X*, also directed a few small, touching art films), you need to read ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
robyn_ma's excellent look at his oeuvre over here. I adore Cronenberg's work (as many of you know), and robyn_ma's post still had a lot of info for me. Read it. And rent/buy a bunch of those movies.
2. As noted by bothsweinberg and robyn_ma, Amazon is selling the Warner Classics Mega Collection, featuring 237 movies, for only $1999.49. I need! Granted, I've got a few of the films, and I'd actually pay more if the set excluded the most overrated film in history. But I still need! I also need the more affordable (but still out of my range, unless I acquire a sugar mama in the near future or win the lottery) Fox Studio Classics Collection. Both collections contain movies that everyone simply must own (although only the Fox one can claim to have the movie that killed Batman's parents).
3. My wife, like many of you, was lucky enough to see a pre-screening of Serenity last night. I have not yet seen it, nor will I until Friday. I will see it then. I might even just camp out in the theatre and watch it for 24 hours straight. Yes, I'm going in with high expectations.
4. There's going to be a movie made out of Bridge to Terabithia. This could be good news, except for the fact that they'll probably give it a happy ending and sprinkle it with elves. Maybe they'll cast Hillary Duff (Hillary Duff's Diary of Anne Frank is still the best thing Robot Chicken has ever come up with).
*I'm not making this up. Well, he's not technically a star, but he does get a major scene.
