The story used a much more colorful word.
Doody?!

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.

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'.

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.

Hey. New board.
I'm jealous of Lilty. I'll be driving to Dallas tomorrow, and will not get to see the movie.
Loved the first one. Have read all five of the books.

Go on wichyur bad teenage girl-self Nova!
Tonight I watched Belizaire the Cajun for the first time in many years. I just love it.
Yes, the production values are pretty much that of your summer camp home movies and there are far, far too many boom shots but, hey. Armand Assante is the acme of charm. Will Paxton looks about 18. And I learned things about Acadian history I never knew.
Just love it.
On the other hand? The Mayor of Casterbridge. Dead, wicked, bloody boring. But I have an unwholesome crush on Ciaran Hinds brewing, so it was an indulgence. I shoulda known though...Thomas Hardy. Not know for laugh fests or happy endings. Rather, lots and lots of lies and manipulations.
I think I'll go dream of Belizaire.

Lilty, I've been trying to convince people to not only go to the see it (where two takers have agreed -- Robin and Polgrara) but I've been trying to talk them into the special tea they have at the theater. It's a princess themed tea and includes Belle, Ariel, Snow White and the other one.

Art Crawl!!!
Ben Kingsley is going to play a vampire in a movie based on a video game.
This means that the world is ending, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the film chronicles the adventures of the title character, a half-vampire, half-human who has the super strength of a monster but the emotions of a person.
Angel, Blade, Spike -- who else do they need to do this to so we'll get involved in the bloodsucking story? Forever Knight, at least, was just a matter of will.

No, just Kingsley's good reputation.
ETA: Oh God! It's made by the same guy who made House of the Dead. The movie which actually cut to scenes from the source video game as transitions between shots.
If anyone in L.A. needs their lawn mowed, now might be a good time to call Ben's agent. (Assuming he still has one...)
