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.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, that sounds like a workable plan.

Don't forget to put holes in the box so that the beagles can breath. And you know, maybe include some biscuits.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Do beagles like apples?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Do beagles like apples?

Yes but only the type without the grenades.

Just got back from Bourne Supremacy. That was a highly entertaining movie. The thing I love about the Bourne films is that the foreign locations actually look and feel like where they are supposed to be, rather than Generic Glitzy Casino or something.

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

Entertainment Weekly asks who will be the next Julia Roberts. Kirsten Dunst? Reese Witherspoon? Rachel McAdams? Probably not, they conclude.

They also list possible new Tom Cruises (Tobey Maguire is the right height, they say), Meg Ryans, Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington.

I'm curious about what they think makes Denzel Denzel. Because race doesn't seem to be key -- one of his "but probably nots" is Matt Damon. I get what they're getting at with the other stars. Just not with Denzel. Matt Damon, Jamie Foxx, Mekhi Phifer?

No. Maybe the article is correct, and we're seeing another shift in what it means to be a movie star.

American remake of a very creepy, low budget Japanese horror movie, produced by Sam Raimi and directed by the same Japanese director, imported to America for the film.

I loved the Japanese version Ju-On, very creepy and effective, despite it's noticible lack of budget.

Huh. That's kinda cool that Raimi's giving some back, now that he's made it bigtime. And thanks! I will hit up my source for Japanese movies (despite the fact that my source calls them "flicks.")

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Reese is cooler than Julia could ever hope to be.

Cool != movie star, otherwise I'd know a lot more of them, though.

Hand question: during The Manchurian Candidate, Denzel had what looked like a dislocated pinkie finger (left I think -- odd angle at the second joint). I've just trawled a bunch of photos, and it's not in any of them. Was this some strange thing for the character? Or just something that's happened since September 2003 and photos haven't caught up to it yet?
