Plus EXISTENZ had one of my favorite last lines of dialog ever.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

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.

I kind of liked Existenz, because of the Jude and because it was relatively unpredictble, in a good way.

I don't remember it. That right up there is pretty much the only line I remember. Cause I loved it.
If you do tell, whitefont, cause it's been long enough that I could watch it again and not remember all the plot twists. I wonder if my friend Melanie has seen it. We do movie nights to rectify the "You haven't seen _____?!"s, and we seem to have had a predilection for ultraviolence and Ian Holm.

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

For matrix type movies, has anyone seen Avalon? I loved it, but dreamlike polish movies directed by Japanese men are not for everyone. And that damn dog of his is in it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The Arrival came out about the same time as Independence Day. Although it was just as silly, I thought it was better done and a little funnier.

The good news: According to EW, Wolverine's getting his own movie.
The bad news: It's being written by the guy who wrote Troy.

I would be more optimistic if Hugh has been able to save Van Helsing.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I don't know this for sure, but my sense is that she gets annoyed when she can't use a word that was used on TV -- and is, in fact, annoyed by censorship in general
I have chronicled, haven't I, the Globe's sports writing team's efforts at self-censorship? They involve quotes mostly broadcast on NESN, the local sports cable channel, and include, "Contrary to what everyone says, the Yankees don't [inhale excessively]," and "I really don't give a [care]."
It's a whole nother dialect unto itself. The first one I actually had to sit there breathing funny to figure out they meant "suck".
