I think it was the editing. I don't really remember, although I liked the movie in general.
Dennis Quaid. Yum.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

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.

Up with the sun
Polter-Cow, I didn't find the distinctions as obvious as Jessica did, but it was my interpretation that everything between her train ride to France and the final scene in the publisher's office was fantasy. You can see the publisher's real daughter as she's leaving the office.

If I only had a brain...
I was only able to watch about ten minutes of Blair Witch before I gave up in nausea. (Nothing scary had happened yet.)

I remember The Perfect Storm also induced a lot of motion sickness nausea.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I caught the last 30 minutes of Blue Crush at the gym today, and it gave me motion-woozies. (Not sickness, but the camera work in the water is so fucking amazing that its movement sucked me in the way, say, The Perfect Storm's did.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That is some amazing camerawork, isn't it? Worth seeing the movie just for that -- the plot's unremarkable, and Kate Bosworth forgettable.
Michelle Rodriguez did all her own jetskiing, I think.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I have a friend that I go to movies with who cannot handle watching a lot of things because they make her motion sick. If she wants to see one and knows it will be hard to watch she takes Dramanine and says it helps. I haven't had any problems like that except for the one time I had to sit in the 5th row, in a gigantic theatre in Sacramento to see "The Sound of Music". The opening where the camera is flying over the Alps aggravated my fear of falling.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
An IMAX space shuttle movie shown at Disneyland had me reaching for the barf bags. I can handle upside down just fine when I am upside down. Continued moving pictures of the earth hanging up there are more than my inner ear can deal with.

Oh, ita! I had totally blocked the memory of IMAX Mission to Mir out of my memory until now. I was very white-knuckley during that one.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Odd that the subject comes up. I saw Safety Last today (famous for the shot of Harold Lloyd hanging off a clock, several stories off the ground). By the end of that sequence, I was sweating buckets.
