What should I see? I've bolded the ones I want to see and I've already seen Sukiyaki and Mad Detective. The Uwe Boll films are discouraging but this Masuda fellow seems interesting (retrospective).

The only one I was really excited to see was Machine Girl, and I seem to have missed it.

Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story
Probably not your cup of tea, but I'd love to see this.

Ugh. I had planned to go see [rec] (or REC, or however the hell it's mean to be written) at 3:30 yesterday, as it was the only film playing over the past couple days that intrigued me. There was a disturbance of that plan, however, when my car was broken into and set on fire, forcing me to catch the last bus home at 4:45.

The film I heard the most buzz about (particularly in the Montreal alt-weeklies, like The Mirror) was Tokyo Gore Police. I suppose that's worth catching if that genre is your cup of bloody tea.

Bad Biology, Repo, Midnight Meat Train (if only to brag about having seen it before everyone else), Tunnel Rats (because Uwe Boll + the fantasia crowd = awesome) and Tokyo Gore Police (and REC, but it's too late for that).

Emphasis on Bad Biology. Frank Henenlotter is a delightfully twisted dude.

Alright, see y'all in a year.

I definitely want to see Midnight Meat Train and Tokyo Gore Police.

TGP looks insane.

Hmmm it isn't really my cup of tea I don't think... unless it's supposed to be funny ala Evil Dead/Dead Alive, then I might like it quite a bit. Idiots and Angels (Bill Plympton feature!?) and The Sparrow are the only two I quite want to see. Genius Party has some awesomes actually but I'd prefer to rent Omnibus stuff.

Oh cool, I didn't see Genius Party. That is totally awesome.

This list just serves to remind me how utterly terrible SIFF has been the last few years for genre cinema.

You can laugh at/with Repo! four months before any of the rest us get to, if you choose to see that one. It's gotten a tentative November release date.

I'd rather slit my wrists than watch anything remotely resembling a vehicle for Paris Hilton.

I think in reality, given the choice between these two alternatives, you would opt for the latter rather than the former.

That's sort of like calling A Prairie Home Companion a vehicle for Lindsay Lohan. Hilton is not the focal point of this project.

Depends how deep I would have to cut.
