I've heard that too (though I've also heard it wasn't their relative positions but rather she was explicitly exposed). But never from anybody who'd actually know or is able to point to someone who'd actually know.

Saw *batteries not included after many years away. Another beloved childhood film that is full of holes. And my God, the matte painting on the "roof"! Oh well, still adorable, though seeing Jessica Tandy with a lost mind just isn't as funny as it was when I was a kid...

Yes, this movie was brought to mind due to our Be Kind Rewind viewing. Any other "it'll take a miracle to keep us from getting evicted from this run down place" movies?

I just watched "Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog" - pure awesomeness.

I tried to watch Valerkrie - but then I got bored and went and took a shower. Then it was still on and I realized I didn't miss anything. So I did really try to pay attention, but I had to blow dry my hair. Then it was still on and I did sincerely try to pay attention, but I got bored and went in the other room.

On the other hand - Braveheart on BluRay is awesome. I need to go to Scotland, now.

I still want to see Valerkrie ... I think it would make an awesome double-feature with Inglourious Basterds. Ya know, the pompous, serious-mode, historically accurate Kill Hitler movie ... and the edgy, semi-comical, tense Tarantino instant-masterpiece Kill Hitler movie that throws historical accuracy to the winds in favor of fantastic wish-fulfillment alternate history.

In case you can't tell, i freaking LOVED Inglourious Basterds. Breezy even at 2.5 hours, a collection of very tense and fantastically enjoyable witty dialogue scenes, all with war suspense, but nary a battle scene anywhere. Oh, and the dialogue is 90% foreign language. And it's at once nail-biting and hysterical.

And the two music cues from Kill Bill totally cracked me up.
