Netflix has just emailed me that Ned Kelly is on it's way to my house!
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I was behind 1500 posts here but just threadsucked to see if there was any talk of Garden State and.... nothin'!
I saw it Sunday and loved it. Parts of it felt too cliché, especially the ending, and parts seemed a bit too "clever", but there are so many great individual moments, that the bits I didn't like seem trivial in comparison.
I also saw the Metallica movie. My new favorite word is "stock".

I want to see Garden State but so far it looks like it's not playing here -- just in a few theatres in Chicago and the north 'burbs.

If I only had a brain...
is way too old for his repertoire of "I am only a high school boy and totally boggled by this big world" tricks
That's the key. I liked it in Pleasantville, but it got really, really old (as did he) by Spider-Man 2.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
He did a good job in Ride with the Devil, portraying a kid aged too quickly by horrors in the Civil War.

I'm excited to see Garden State despite a pretty disgusting story I read in a British pub. this morning (I love me some www.google.news, but sorry, lost the link).
Apparently, filming was kicked out of a particular suburban house when the resident found a loaf of human excrement in the bathtub. The story used a much more colorful word.
If a movie crew asks to use your house/office/barn? Run, do not walk away from the deal. I've never heard a good story in the aftermath.
Of course, crew behavior ≠ movie quality.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good Will Hunting used space in my mother's church, paid them a ton of money, and were, apparently, lovely. t /anecdotal evidence

"turd"
eta: I'm glad to hear the anecdotal evidence Jesse, cuz I want to imagine it's a great experience.
etaa: There is something very wonky about the femalefirst site. It makes my browser have emotional problems. But, yes, that was the source of the story, except that this morning, both the text and the headline featured the word 'turd'.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I'm going to see The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement tommorrow night. Am also far more excited about it than a 23 year old has a right to be. That is all.
