What's so bad about puppet sex?
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I'm a Farscape fan. Honestly, I don't need any more puppet sex in my life.

I'm a Farscape fan who's seen Avenue Q and Meet the Feebles. I'm just impressed that there's puppet sex out there I haven't seen yet.

Brotherhood of the Wolf wasn't a good film? I must have watched another one of the same name, then.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I didn't think it was a good film. Actually it struck me as a French sneer at Hollywood-style filmmaking. Like, you want incoherent action-y grand guignol? Check this out!! I'll even throw in some Orientalism and a naked assassin, for free!
I think the only thing missing from the movie was a huge illogical explosion, and then the filmmakers would have had the whole set of Silly Hollywood Set-Pieces.

I adored Brotherhood of the Wolf, in all it's semi-coherent glory.
DH and I saw Sideways last night, and we both loved it. There are a few bits that are a little overwritten, but on the whole, it's a fantastic film. I don't think it's going to get quite the amount of attention that either LiT or American Splendor did last year, but it's in that same vein -- really well-written, really well-acted, very funny and heartfelt. And the NYTimes food section was impressed with how accurate the wine talk was.

Hey, Nutty, we agree on another movie. Just have to mark the occasion.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Brotherhood of the Wolf was awfully pretty. And didn't make a lick of sense. It was like, Peter Greenaway went French and applied a bit of restraint wrt grotesquerie.
Stage Beauty is getting lukewarm-to-bad reviews, which saddens me because the whole genderfuck of a premise sounded really interesting.

Liz Smith seemed to love it in her column this morning. Not that she's a film reviewer or anything...
