Is Hollywood really so bereft of talent and originality?
Is this a trick question? Don't you remember they made a movie out of The Beverly Hillbillies within living memory?
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

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.

Bad Education is fabulous in many, many ways. Not the least of which is Gael Garcia Bernal being a thing of beauty, and a joy forever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No one has ever successfully escaped from Precinct 13.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I think I could like Dougray Scott as Bond.

Hey. New board.
New Joss X3 rumor. Admittedly, this comes from somebody I don't know, in a webforum I rarely read, that is in no way a Joss or Movie-related forum (Specifically, it's a forum devoted to high-quality pictures of female celebrities.) But, still.
ETA: Huh. Nevermind, old news. The same quote appears to be on Moviehole, and was actually linked from whedonesque. I am apparently behind the times. Ignore me.

Art Crawl!!!
NPR had an interesting story on old classics and why some are not on DVD. It mentioned that Star Wars' negative was "used up" -- due to the incredible popularity of the film.

How interesting. The Pet Shop Boys did a performance of the soundtrack they wrote for Battleship Potemkin in London recently. I think I'd like to see that. Apparently the director of Potemkin, (bad me for forgetting), wanted the soundtrack redone every ten years.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Sergei Eisenstein made Potemkin.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
A few more proposed changes to the Star Wars films.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Now, if those changes were real, I'd consider renting the new Star Wars DVDs. As it is, I wouldn't even watch them if given to me.
