It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That Argentine film tommyrot linked to yesterday seems to have more theremin than the NY Times review led me to believe: [link]

I watched The Station Agent last night. It was a nice character study. I loved Peter Dinklage (has he been in anything else?), and Patricia Clarkson was great as always. Sometimes movies in which not a whole lot happens are a bore and sometimes, as in this case, they are moving.

Dinklage was in Living in Oblivion and Elf. I warn you though, the latter is a Will Ferrell movie.

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

Dinklage was in Living in Oblivion and Elf. I warn you though, the latter is a Will Ferrell movie.

And I assuage your fears by saying it was hilarious and much better than I expected.

I don't do Will Ferrell movies. Especially ones called Elf. I think I saw Living in Oblivion (if it has Catherine Keener in it) and was a bit bored by it. Dang. I want more of the Dinklage.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What if he's on the sidelines? Like secondary character?

You got me, Aims, cause I loved Dick and it had Mr. Ferrell.

Oh I wasn't trying to get you, I was just wondering cause Zoolander is funny as hell! I feel the same - Mr Ferrell is funnier to me if he's in the background.

Hey, it worked for Melanie Griffith.
