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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm intrigued, and then the kicker is the last shot of the trailer with the roof being blown off. Cause that's fucking cool.

It looks intriguing, but I have a fear that Farscape/Star Trek-style omnipotent aliens are going to turn out to be behind it, and the real world isn't real at all. Which was an interesting twist back when I first saw it. In entertainment from the late 60s.

If I only had a brain...

Sigh. An LJ acquaintance went to Sky Captain and she's calling it the second-worst movie she saw all year, the first being Riddick.

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

I heard very early bad buzz last winter. But I have heard other reviews. However, I have no interest in it at all.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Sumi, that Christian Bale interview made me go find the EW cover that made me finally concede that I was wrong, and dear Lord, is Christian Bale HOTT.

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

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

At least one critic is calling Sky Captain the best film of the year.

Edit: Whoops, that review is rather spoilery.

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

From that "Doom" article:

the leader of a special ops team, who crosses paths with the organization responsible for his parents' deaths while battling alien demons,

Heh. The "alien demons" part is cracking me up. They are not just regular demons. They are demons from outer space!
