Nice balance between Singer's almost-too-easy familiarity and Zacharek's filmgirl intensity. And watching the pair of them blush over the subject matter of Teeth was kind of adorable.

Are Canadian movies too obscure to deserve a mention anymore? Mr. Taylor gave it such a glowing review here, but I guess that was six years ago after all.

Still, it was the first thing that came to mind upon hearing a discussion of horrific-changes-as-puberty-metaphor.

I have said this before, but they're getting a lot better at this.

(What is Matt wearing, though?)

Anyway, the only problem with this video is they didn't talk much about "Teeth" itself. At least there's a link to the review.

The examples that were brought up were good. I did think of "Spider-man," which of course also features a scene when he's alone in his room and he has to hide his newly discovered "stick-um" from his aunt. Hmmm....what could that subtext be?

"Carrie" is a great example, with Sissy Spacek drenched in blood and all.

I'm trying to think of other examples. For some reason "Liquid Sky" just came to mind, though I don't think it counts. (A woman does kill men by having sex with them, though.)

Anyway, nice job on the video discussion. Keep up the good work, Zacharek and Singer. (O'Hehir is also doing a fine job at Sundance...)

This is what, the 3rd column? for a movie 99.5% of everyone will never see? What's the deal?

They want to piss you off. Not us, just YOU.

I remember it well: "I'm just a chick from Connecticut, who kills with her cunt." Completely and lovably batshit movie.

Speaking of killer vaginas, there's that segment - shamefully underrated and forgotten - from "Grim Prairie Tales", in which a cowboy helps a woman who seems to be pregnant, then suddenely isn't. She seduces him, they go at it, and at the moment of climax the cowboy shrivels down and is sucked into what Dan Ackroyd once referred to as "that sexual vortex." And all at once the woman again looks like she's expecting.

The narrator intones, "And so she went on, alone again, pregnant as before."

Heh, heh, hehhhhhhh... >;-)

...but I might just have to!
