Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

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.

Was anyone else hoping that The Village twist would involve fae? Would probably be considered as silly by the "average" audience, but my hope for a nice unseely court on film is undimmed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I would be weirded out by US sidhe.

Would they be Native American trickster spirits, or something the Irish brought over during the Potato Famine?

it was the least of the Arthur movies.
Worse than First Knight?
As others have said, nothing is as a bad as that when it comes to Arthurian movies.
I think Sue hit in on the head. The movie was mostly boring, and it was dreary. I hope that if it doesn't do well at the box office, it won't discourage any attempts at making a decent Arthurian movie sometime.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Boreanaz is in talks for the neferious Dr. Doom.

Heh. In some comics canon, that's the whole of Lex's beef with Superman. (With an obvious emasculation vibe.)

I would go with one malevolent court exile tormenting the desendents of a particular family. Or as they protect themselves with a yellow wall , maybe it's a green lantern.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Has anyone seen the movie Swimming, with Lauren Ambrose? (Not to be confused with Swimming Pool.) I just watched it, and, well, it got all these raves, but....it mostly just irritated me.
This is just like how I didn't go swoony over Rushmore, isn't it? I'm doomed to never like quirky indie films, and only love the Dude, Where's My Car?s and the Bring It Ons of the world!
....which is okay by me, really, but I'm losing an awful lot of smartypants cred this week.
