I heart that movie. Watched it about 8 times this past summer. Showed it to my gay Christian friend, and made him incredibly happy. Also showed it to atheist friends and struggling agnostic friends, and everybody loved it.

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.
Get outta my head. Am home today, trying to shake off the headache from hell, and what movie did I watch? Saved.
at least he's being honest about it.
Looks like he went to the Bryan Singer school.
I *just* added it to my NetFlix que before coming in here. So 'cited!
Saved was really a great flick. I didn't even see that Christophe Beck did the music! How cool.
Aimee - you will love it. Have now watched the movie, the movie with the Mandy Moore commentary, and half the flick with the director commentary. Yes, still home sick and obsessing...
Saved was good. Mandy Moore cracked my shit up.

I know! She delivered her lines with such conviction. I thought it was interesting that she was my favorite, in a cast of such talented actors. Even though I think all of my favorite lines ended up in the trailer, it was still really great.
And I enjoyed the part in the commentary where she was laughing about what she imagined her equipment to be, when she is saving a sinner. Because that line hadn't really registered with me during the movie itself.
I didn't even know Saved was out on DVD.
Knows what she's renting on day off.
Mandy Moore is dating Zach Braff. Apropos of nothing.
DH and I saw Team America last night, and it was good, though not as good as South Park. The songs are fucking brilliant -- I've had "America, Fuck Yeah!" in my head all morning. Most of the issues I have with it probably come from my own overanalysis than the film itself (nitpicky pedantic overanalysis, thy name is me), but I did find myself saying "Yes, BUT...." several times. Which is ridiculous in a film which exists mainly as an excuse to see who can use the word "cock" more times, but...yeah. As a social commentary, it doesn't quite work for me. But as a scatological puppet action comedy (a far more reasonable level on which to evaluate it), it works fine.
