Well, also, I hate Milla Jovovich with the passion of a thousand fiery clambakes. But the silliness didn't help, either.
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Apparently, it is based on Chinese ancient history
Though, really, it's a much better movie if you ignore this and watch it as pure myth. (People hated it in China because of the massive amount of whitewashing it does to the first Emperor of Qin.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Who, I learned, was the ONLY emperor of Qin! He ruled with an iron fist for 30-some-odd years, died, and his son was promptly overthrown.
Which events were the backdrop of the opera (not the movie) Farewell My Concubine.
If not for movies, I would know nothing at all about world history.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love Milla. I think she's my Angelina Jolie-lite.

Compassionately intolerant
I once saw Milla as the opening act at a Crash Test Dummies show.
She has an amazing voice. And? If that was not a 'stage persona', she's got a few screws, loose, bent, melted and sauted.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I'm pretty eh on Milla as an actress, but I've found a song by her that I really like off the Rules of Attraction soundtrack.

She may also be Juliette Lewis-lite.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Resident Evil is so not comparable to Event Horizon. Event Horizon wanted to pretend it had a point until it turned into a gore fest. Resident Evil was a gore fest from the beginning and was perfectly fine. It embraced its goriness.
And the commentary's a hoot.

Was is the hooks in Jason Isascs' back that fooled you?? Seriously, I never guessed that EH had any pretense at all. I mean, okay, "arty excessively baroque engineering design", yes. But the minute the not-survivors were recorded doing their thing in Latin, I just started laughing and didn't stop.
