I'm just hoping it comes to the $5 theatre, because it does sound just awful enough to be a must-see, but there's no way in hell I'm giving up $10.25 for it.

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!
The new point of contention among Buffistas.
There are people who don't like gerunds?
I can wait to see The Village on the movie network, since that's where I saw Dead People, Drowning Man and Crop Circles, or whatever those movies are called.
Ah, JohnSweden is a man who adheres to tradition. I completely understand.

don't pay me no mind, I'm just here to keep an ear out for spoilers for just how awful (and why) the Village is.

The secret of The Village is that it's a rustic, pseudo-Amish community living in a nature preserve. The myth of the "creatures" is to keep people from wandering out into modern society. The "creatures" themselves are costumes worn by the adults of the Village.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Oh, dear. Sean, it sounds to me as if that plot was inspired by an episode of Scooby Doo or something.

heh. Heh! Thanks. Maybe I will see it. However, there are a zillion good movies I still need to see, so maybe not.
Signed, still have not seen Spiderman 2 or Harry Potter 3.
Or Hellboy. I suck!

Snerk, Anne.
Today's Chronicle review of the Village had the little guy sleeping in the chair, which is one step up from an empty chair.

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

Dude, don't. Seriously, don't. Three-day argument over whether or not "kissage" is a gerund. (No, wait, I think that was a different grammatical argument...)

More like three weeks. (Or did it just feel that way?)
