Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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.

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

If Buffistas were the kind of people who liked pretty boys tarted up and androgynous they might be interested in this tip:

Well, there is also Pedro Almodóvar, who has been channeling Fassbinder and Douglas Sirk in a really beautiful, interesting way. He captures something that may not be quite glamour, but has an emotional grandeur and dignity that melodrama used to have. He has "Bad Education" coming out this fall, another in his series of brilliant melodramas, with Gael García Bernal, sometimes in drag, as a troubled young man who was molested by a priest as a child.

Hey. New board.

I'm going to give the Blockbuster online movie rental thing a try, if for no other reason than that it's free for two weeks and the trial comes with two little e-coupons for free in-store rentals RIGHT NOW (and once a month from now on, which is cool.)

I'll let you know how it compares to Netflix. Selection seems just as good, or damned close at least, so service and delivery speed will be the big test.

I think I'm going to go rent the first disc of Six Feet Under Season 2 right now.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I have Waking Life somewhere in my queue at Netflix. I have no doubt in my mind that after hearing you guys talk about it, that I will either fall asleep or give up halfway through. I'm okay with that.

Last night I watched Henry: Portrait Of a Serial Killer, which, if nothing else, definitely took my mind off my current emotional state of dumped-ness.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I'm watching The Cell on USA. So far the freakiest thing (besides the spider) is Vincent D'nofrio's blonde hair.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I fucking hated The Cell.

which, if nothing else, definitely took my mind off my current emotional state of dumped-ness.

Oh, {{{Alicia}}}!

If anyone's interested, there's some excellent footage of Sin City from Comic Con available here. Looks pretty good, although I'm having some problems seeing Josh Hartnett as a film noir anti-hero, no matter how pretty he is in B&W.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Hey. New board.

I have concluded that somebody in my town must have the Blockbuster Movie Pass thing (same rules as Netflix, etc, only you get the movies from the store), rented Volume 1 of Six Feet Under Season 2, and has had it for the last month. Because every single time I've gone there since coming home (which has been fairly regularly - this town is really boring), it's not been there.

Oh well.

t trots off to watch 13 Going On 30

ETA: This movie is a continues SQUEE-fest.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

There are also some pics of Sin City available here, here, and here.

Looks good.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

He has "Bad Education" coming out this fall, another in his series of brilliant melodramas, with Gael García Bernal, sometimes in drag, as a troubled young man who was molested by a priest as a child.

I must have mentioned this already! No? It's currently number 2 in my films of the year. Just an astounding film, and GGB is smoking hot in drag. The best description I've read of it is "puts the cock into Hitchcock" - imagine if you will a gay Spanish remake of Vertigo.
