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 have a plan.

Gah. Doomsday Book just about killed me. To Say Nothing of the Dog was delightful, but it didn't stay with me as long as Doomsday Book.

Doom and doom tends to make more of an impression than whimsical romp. I liked them both but, yeah, Doomsday Book will stick around longer.

edited to fix writing forward while going backward in time.

Have any of the James Franco lovers around these parts seen Sonny? It's been airing on one of the premium movie channels for a while now.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I think I'd need the flowcharts.

I could explain, I think...which do you wanna hear, how Back to the Future II is impossible, or why there were two Deloreans in the Wild West?

One of the other things that amuses me is when past films show "future technology" which appears dated by today's standards.

BttF II did a good job of speculating possible future technology, and on their "talking tech" (like the auto-sizing clothing) the voice technology sounded good for the time, but compared to today's artificial voice technology, it is now terribly dated.

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

You kinda haveta, though, don't you? Unless you go the Alien route, or something Firefly-esque where you just root the design firmly and not coincidentally in a time period that isn't the future.

I can get past most of them, but the communications devices that are bulkier than my cellphone/bluetooth earpiece combo jar.

All very true, but the fact remains: I want my hoverboard!!!

Also, I never heard the two delorean thing. Maybe in the time it takes MM to post it, I can figure it out.

Thinks real hard.
