How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

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.

Yeah, Northam would rock as Bond. Yum.

I have just, belatedly, finished all the posts I skipped to get my two Bond cents in. Please to not call Irish people British. Unless they're from Northern Ireland, in which case feel free to do so, though some of them might not like it.

I do not know this "wu-shu."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So, Blade II is pretty cool. It's all shiny and new, and the special effects are much better, except when the combatants turn into video game characters during fight scenes. The vampire chick can't act, but she was hot. And there was Ron Perlman. Guillermo del Toro once again proves he can make an entertaining movie out of a less-than-perfect script (I really ought to see Mimic again, just to see if I can figure out what he's doing right). I think the first movie has a stronger story, even though it wasn't all that hot either. So, Sean, I don't think I can agree with you that it's better in every way, but it definitely wasn't the suckfest the haters made it out to be.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Is anyone on MI-5 suave and 30-ish?

Well, he's 40-ish, but how about...Anthony Stewart Head?

Since AD's already been mentioned and all.

I still say Rupert Everett would have made a fine Bond.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Wonder if that's the same mystery financial group behind the Farscape miniseries.

Huh. I'm going to assume that this is so, if only to amuse myself with the notion of a shadowy group of wealthy industrialists who just happen to be dedicated to geekiness instead of crime.

They have a secret headquarters, where they plot their takeover of the FOX network. And play video games.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

But, now that you mention it, that Marton Csokas is awfully droolworthy.

You Csokas-lovers need to see Rain. He is so so SO very yummy.

Rain.

How fast did I get to Netflix?

Verra fast.

It's very good, independent of the Csokas factor, but he is quite yummy in it.
