Swooning in happiness from JZ prose.
Ciaran Hinds is wonderful in Persuasion. A lovely, understaed film with a great cast.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Always Anti-fascist!
I don't remember that. Maybe I've seen a cut version, or maybe I just scanned past it mentally.

Ciaran Hinds is totally one of my Sekrit Boyfriends. He's even in that Minnie Driver movie as one of the professors. A Circle of Friends?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I just saw the Bourne Supremacy. It was OK. My real question is, why do studios do screenings like this? Is it because they think regular people will like it more than critics and are hoping for good word of mouth?

Now I'm wondering about the Edward Rochester taste test? Who is dreamier? Timothy Dalton or my new secret lover, Ciaran?
What, not Orson Welles? runs away

Ann, that's a ferret.
Mmmmm. Holiday. Now Voyager. Both wonderful movies, each in its own way.
What, not Orson Welles?
TCM is showing The Magnificent Ambersons tomorrow at midnight. My TiVo is set.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Setup (not twist):
A village of 17th-century folk live in a secluded valley, afraid of terrible monsters who roam the surrounding woods.
Twist (I'm serious):
They live in a NATURE RESERVE! It's set in the present, and the founders of the Village have basically hidden for X years in this nature reserve and told their kids it's the past to stop them leaving. The monsters are....Modern people!!!!
