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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

They were frogs, Plei. FROGS.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

That was so the best part of the movie. It was almost worth the pathological reaction I had to Julianne Moore for a year or two afterwards, which went something like this:

t Julianne Moore appears on-screen

ME: Oh God, she's going to say Fuck, isn't she? Noooooo!

Art Crawl!!!

I saw an ad for Collateral during Nip/Tuck -- Tom Cruise does do that horrifying grin/laugh/rictus.

Also, why all the '80s music in the promo for Little Black Book?

Ron Livingston is in it -- I thought I recognized him in the ads!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

P-C:

TOAD is a better word. Frogs work with globes. Toads with rain. No matter which they actually were, I'm sticking with toad, because toad is funnier.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ye gads, you people. Magnolia was so frigging ponderous I had to take a nap in the middle of it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wish I'd thought to sleep during Magnolia.

What is with Little Black Book -- why are we to get engaged by a psycho stalker chick or the guy that dates her?

Ye gads, you people. Magnolia was so frigging ponderous I had to take a nap in the middle of it.

We had beer first, then a lot of sugar.

We went with our film geek buds, and had a merry old time.

It remains the only one of the guy's films I can stand.

We rented it. Come to think of it, that may help to explain its strangely soporific effect.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

The whole time I was watching Lost in Space, all I kept thinking was, "This *seems* like an acting gig for Joey Tribiani...."

Hey, don't dis Joey in Space! Spidermonsters! oldman! utterly gratuitous crazy timebubble denoument! What's not to love?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

[link]Thunderbirds is being previewed in the UK. Sounds as though Jonathan Frakes should stick to directing Star Trek movies.
