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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oh, yeah -- I was the one who liked De-Lovely and led Matt down a path of cinematic sadness on that one.

As soon as Garden State actually makes it to Cincinnati, I'll be seeing it.

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

I think what I mean is mostly that I want a world where they don't end up constantly as Korean Guy #3 or That Indian Dude

Exactly! Cause I'm That Indian Dude.

Art Crawl!!!

I don't think that Garden State opens wide 'til this weekend -- therefore I have not seen it. I do want to see it.

Always Anti-fascist!

Hey, P-C, maybe I should write the movie where The Indian Guy and The Chick in The Wheelchair fight crime or something.

He's not The Indian Guy. He's That Indian Guy. I think maybe you're That Chick in The Wheelchair, actually.

Ok, my mistake...I have been, actually.

If I only had a brain...

I thought you said Wheels and Masada

and I was having unhappy thoughts about you and Erika rolling off a cliff.

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

It's really tragic - I get out to far fewer movies then I used to (though this does go in phases, or maybe spasms). Of what I have seen, these are the ones that I'd deem worthy (in no particular order):

Kill Bill, Vol 2

Eternal Sunshine...

Hellboy

Spider-Man 2

Manchurian Candidate

And somehow that's all I'm coming up with - if that's it, I'm acually embarassed.

I've got Friday off, and hoping to catch up with a bunch of stuff I've missed recently over the weekend/next week which would be (and yes, I've been known to do the movie binge thing):

Zantiochi (sp?)

Gozu

Collateral

Harry Potter the 3rd

possibly Anchorman

And then there were a ton I kept meaning to get to but missed, mostly indy or foreign films, though.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Gozu

Saw it in L.A. last Thanksgiving. Definitely the most fucked up thing I've ever seen. I think the lactating old lady sent me over the edge. 9 months later I still can't decide if I hated it or not.
