Good point. Hepburn in BUB is certifiable. But I still want her to get Cary Grant.
Wesley: Hey. Hey, Gunn. Is something weird going on? … Charles, you just peed on my shoes. Gunn: I'll be damned. That's weird.

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
I will simply opine (for the fifth time at least) that Kate/Cary totally trumps Kate/Spencer.
Maybe there's a Kate/Spencer movie that can come close to either Holiday or The Philadelphia Story. If so, I haven't seen it.
Heresy. I weep.

Compassionately intolerant
P-C knows my KPAX pain.
Honestly, that was the one that put me over the edge. And then dropped me into a swirly pool of lava. Then spit me out the ass-end of an elephant.
CRAP!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

A good proportion of Kate/Spencer movies bug me, because they seem to be about feminization/domestication of a headstrong, intelligent woman. Much as it has to recommend about it, I can't watch "Woman of the Year" without getting pissed at the 'comeuppance' Hepburn's character gets. There is a rather unpleasant smugness in the scene in which she is made to feel like a failure as a woman because because she can't cook, nevermind the fact that she's a brilliant political journalist and speaks a dozen languages. Bah!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have just seen the greatest movie ever made.
No, really.
The Apple is the movie that finally answers the question, "What would life in the far, far future of 1994 be like under a totalitarian disco regime?" And the related question, "Under such a regime, what would be the fate of two wholesome folk musicians from Moosejaw?"
There is music. There is dancing. There is shiny polyester. There is a monorail.
It was made in 1980, but was just released today on DVD, and is only $13 at Amazon.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think I need to see that movie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jessica, you're lying. No movie could possibly be that good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't listen to her. Amazon pairs that movie with Freaks. That's gotta mean something.
