Jessica just reminded me, re: Sky Captain, did any one else think "Rivendell!" when they showed Shangri-La?
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Nonian, I said "Rivendell!" out loud at that part.
I went to see Hellboy again last night (free screening at a local college). I don't know why I love that movie so much, I just do.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Nonian, I said "Rivendell!" out loud at that part.
Me, I said, "It's Attack of the Clones !"
I don't know why I love that movie so much, I just do.
Because a big red devil-looking guy sits on a rooftop eating milk and cookies with a ten-year-old and making fun of the square macking on his girl.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I saw Sky Captian today! I'm going to have to go back and see it again, because I missed some of the things that were posted in white font. but I won't mind seeing it again. It was lovely. I was reminded of some anime, especially Big O.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
We are watching The Apple.
It is... interesting.

I just saw Vanity Fair. Which was not all bad, although the social conventions weren't all that accurate. I found it hard to believe even an ambitious woman like Becky would be seen in public in that outfit she wore for the Indian dance number.
Reese Witherspoon looks marvelous in red, but -- and Susan will correct me if I'm wrong -- isn't red completely verboten for respectable women during the time period?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The designers have copped in public to completely redoing the fashionable colour schemes from demure to more vibrant.

Well, that doesn't surprise me, but almost anything would have been better than red, from a social-propriety point of view. Unless, of course, that was the point. It seems a bit meta, though: there's no way Becky wouldn't know that red was not done.
