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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

But the "Blow, Gabriel, Blow" number killed me. I'm such a sucker for scenes like that, where people from someone's past come back, young and beautiful and healthy, to greet them.

It struck me as somewhat cheesy, until the kids appeared. Then I got teary.

I also got sniffly when Ashley Judd's character died, and I was sitting there refusing to cry, and then they started playing "Every Time We Say Goodbye", which just wan't fair. *sniffle*

I got all teary at the scene right before she died, when they're sitting together at the piano and he's singing to her. I felt like I *should* be resenting having my emotions manipulated, but because Kevin Kline just blew me away in this role, it didn't feel manipulated at all.

Somebody's being mean to my secret boyfriend, Robert Rodriquez?

IIRC, he was forced out of the other project when he resigned from the Directors Guild after the whole "multiple directors" brouhaha over Sin City.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Read this too quickly as Sim City. All I could think was "That would make one boring-ass movie."

Right. I'd forgotten about the DGA flack.

I wonder what impact that will have on his options. Didn't Quentin quit the DGA as well?

say you wanna a re-vo-lu-tion...we-ee-ll..

He never joined as far as I know.

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

Dude, that's totally nose baby fat. You guys are mean.

I need to see more pictures of the before cuz those two pictures just look like different angles to me.

Not like, say, Janet Jackson. Not at all subtle. t /hoots of derision

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

No problem.

Some people carry their weight in their breasts, some in their nose.

The evil is this way?

> IIRC, he was forced out of the other project when he resigned from the Directors Guild after the whole "multiple directors" brouhaha over Sin City.

I'm confused (again). What mulitple directors brouhaha, why would the DGA care and why would him not being a member of the DGA mean he couldn't direct this other movie?
