DeepDiscountDVD.com has The Apple for $9.12. I think I need to buy it so I can show it to everyone I know.
My food is problematic.

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.

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
Especially since From Here to Eternity shows that Jones's novels can be turned into good movies. Even great ones.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
What do folks hate about The Thin Red Line?
It's relentlessly boring, there's no narrative flow, the characters spout faux poetry as if it were profound, and I want those three hours back.
What P-C said. Also, it perpetuates the Noble Savage myth, or comes damn close.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, it perpetuates the Noble Savage myth, or comes damn close.
OK, now I remember being uncomfortable with that.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
it fetishized the local peoples as part of nature
With Nutty, P-C, and Steph L on disliking Thin Red Line for that reason. OTOH, I don't want my 3 hours back because there were a remarkable number of pretty men (Clooney! Cusack! Chaplin! Brody!) in the movie and I am shallow.
Was it here or in Natter that people were hating on Vincent Gallo? The latest from IMDB doesn't make him sound any more likeable.

Screw Gallo. What an ass.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Hating Gallo is a pan-thread sport. Tomorrow we're scheduled to hate him in the Firefly thread, Wednesday in the Music thread. There will be a schedule posted in Bureacracy soon....

Ooh and Hero was #1?
That's great -- I guess I don't have to worry if it will still be in town this weekend!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Wooo! Very exciting. No other living director has a higher batting average with me than Mira Nair. I've loved everything she's done.
