A co-worker and her twin sister (another co-worker) just came over to ask if she could borrow my RotK dvd, and we started into a fifteen-minute discussion of movies, starting with Movies That Make You Cry, into Movies That Make You Jump, and then into Movie Stars That Make You Lust, beginning with Burt Lancaster and ending with Chow Yun Fat. For two ladies in their early 60s, they have excellent taste in men.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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.

Hey. New board.
Watching Saved! again. The boy in this movie makes me want to eat him up. His cuteness level is far too high.
Jena Malone has a similar effect.

I'm almost never in the junior lust club around here but...Patrick Fugit?
Very, very bad thoughts.

There are pretty much two reasons to see Equilibrium :
1. Christian Bale
2. The kickass fights
It does a pretty crappy job of actually being a sci-fi movie, but the fighting is pretty fucking cool.

Oh, Vonnie, wrod.(I just watched that this weekend again.) ita, you know I love hit men. But he'd be too busy doing little jobs for me to handle the president of Paraguay, fork or no.

Hey. New board.
I hate movies that make me tear up 3 times in the same movie.
I mean, I don't REALLY hate them. Really, I love them.
This movie is totally awesome.

A puppy?
The evil empire is finally defeated because of a Burnese Mountain Dog puppy? (which, of course, we never see again after it's rescued by CB...until the last minute when it's shown licking the hand of the character's daughter...who less than an hour before was willing to turn his emotion-having ass into the burners.)
And the whole gunkata thing. I've said it before...I'll say it again...lame.
comeon
Oh, and a thousand apologies (again) for the misattribution last night. My brain had you attached to Blood + Flesh for no actual reason at all. My bad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I liked the gunkata. Interesting theoretical exercise, and very pretty.

I could see it as a set piece for an otherwise interesting film but it seemed to me that the entire enterprise was constructed around that one cgi explanation of the technique. Didn't seem like enough to hang an hour and a half on.
And? How could they kill Sean Bean off so soon?
Maybe THAT's why I hated it.
Must contemplate.

I might have slept through that part. I was in and out for a stretch there, cause you know, nothing was happening.

Oh yeah. It was wicked cool. I mean, I couldn't think of any reason why it should be in this particular movie as opposed to some other action flick, but it was still wicked cool. At least in The Matrix, they had fighting styles downloaded into your brains, which was more plausible as far as Movie Plausibility goes.
