Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Yes! Mimi Rogers!
Why do decent actors pick such horrible films?
The whole time I was watching Lost in Space, all I kept thinking was, "This *seems* like an acting gig for Joey Tribiani...."

Yeah. It made Wormhole Extreme on SG-1 look good.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Strangely enough, I'm on-topic.
I just saw Magnolia. Oh my God. All 188 minutes of it, there was just a big "Wow" inside me. I want to write something about it, but I can't find the words. Just, wow.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Heh. P-C, this fills me with relief, as I've been pimping Magnolia to Hec for the last year and a half. Since in pop-culture-consuming sensibilities sense you are frequently Hec and he is frequently you, this bodes well for his impression of the object of my mania.
I fear, however, that you may now be dead to Steph.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If he even existed, he'd be dead to me. But he doesn't exist, so that's fine.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tep will love me, as I saw De-Lovely on her rec and enjoyed it.
Then she'll hate me, as I join P-C and the splendiferous JZ in Magnolia love.
It's going to be hard on her, I fear.

If I only had a brain...
The NYT says if Catwoman dies, it'll take African-American actresses' bankability down with it.
[Hmm. My first reading was that they were generalizing about all AA actresses, but on second reading maybe it's just Ms. Berry who'll crash and sink.]

She's the only one with bankability, so yeah, probably her.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's unfortunate that she, with her limited skill set, is being used generalize for the bankability of black actresses. The movie will fail both because it sucks and she's not bankable. She hasn't been bankable of yet!
