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.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

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.

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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Gary OLDMAN is James Gordon? How did I miss that? They should switch him with Caine.
Actually...I can see it.
You ever see The Professional? Oldman as a corrupt cop, but he's got that crazy under VERY TIGHT control?
I can see him twisting that for "good".
I think it can rock.

I double sniff disdainfully in your general direction.

Hey. New board.
Standing with Hec. Rushmore is teh awesome. (Notice how I get both smartypants cred and stupid annoying cred in one fell swoop with that sentence.)
Also? The Royal Tenenbaums.
ETA: Then again, I also have memories of enjoying First Knight. But that was at least 10 years ago. So I would have been 11 or younger.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Hudson Hawk is a GREAT movie.
I love it, yes I do.

I saw Before Sunset last night. Completely agree with the people who loved it. It was one of the few times in my movie watching career that as I'm thinking, "Here. The movie should end right here," it actually fades to black. That never happens! Great performances by Ethan Hawke (who I usually don't like) and Julie Delpy and the conversation was much better than the original (which I also enjoyed). It was also the most romantic movie I've seen in theaters in a year or two.
