'Out Of Gas'


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.

Trust my rage

my memory can often be ridiculously precise with regards to posts

As another member of the ridculously precise memory club, I can vouch that P-C and I have had this exact discussion before about freaking people out by remembering their stuff.

(For example, I know that they last time we talked about this, I was in the family room at my in-laws house in Florida.)

Funny to actually watch it happen.

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

Whoa, crap. We have? Damn it all.

Trust my rage

Yeah it always freaks people out that I remember stuff about them. They think I'm stalking them, but it's not like it took any extra effort or anything.

Now I mostly just pretend not to remember if it's going to be weird.

Hey, wait a second. This sounds vaguely familiar. Yeah, maybe we did talk about this.

If I only had a brain...

Note from The Aviator trailer: Howard Hughes was a handsome man in a stereotypically masculine (lots of bone-structure-y) way. Leonardo diCaprio is completely unconvincing in the role.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

not that I'm disputing this in the least but did Tommy Lee Jones make the grade?

Ann, that's a ferret.

The whole movie looks like a nightmare of miscasting. Except possibly Gwen Stefani as Jean Harlow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm in love with the stills I've seen of Jude as Flynn.

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

I like Jude Law as Errol Flynn and Cate Blanchett is not a bad fit as Kate Hepburn.

I do have significant reservation about DiCaprio in the title role, but the kid (still can't think of him as a grown-up actor--is he thirty yet?) has charisma and may pull it off. All I know is I'll be there on the opening day.
