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 can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Huh, I thought almost the opposite. Well, not really, but I came at it from completely the other direction.

I'd accept that, too.

A lot of what's at the heart of that movie is a little difficult to express simply, yet another thing I liked about the movie.

A lot of what's at the heart of that movie is a little difficult to express simply, yet another thing I liked about the movie.

This is the part of the conversation where I start to babble about film being an audiovisual medium, and how I don't think that one necessarily should be able to express why movies work simply, in words, and I'd probably also throw in something about high concept rarely producing high art.

But it doesn't really work without the hand gestures, so I'll restrain myself.

If I only had a brain...

Okay, but only if you promise to give this presentation in SF. I gotta see this.

And I'm in total agreement with you.

Well, writing single sentences, anyway.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

t is nostalgic for the days when Angelina Jolie felt fresh and interesting

Also, Jon Stewart should make more romantic comedies.

Word, Vonnie. Although now that he's a dad (or did I see a repeat last night?) I bet he'll have even less time for that sort of thing.

Why don't people make the movies I want to see? Sigh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes, you saw a repeat last night, but it was within the last two weeks that his wife gave birth.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I just barely realised today that one of the local "art" theaters is 2 blocks away from my work, and I get a 2 hours lunch nowadays. This could be a bad combination.
