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.

Up with the sun

Hey, wait, is that the Sarah Polley movie where she's dying or something?

Yeah, she's a young mother, a janitor, with inoperable cancer.

Did anyone link to the Christian Bale appreciation article on Salon here?

I have a plan.

I still don't follow you.

Yeah, I guess I started to get vague at some point in that. I kinda lost my train of thought when the computer crashed on me. Sorry about that. I've lost it and I have to go find a job now. That's my task for today.

Tangent:

Who does your husband write for?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Now I'm lost and have to go find a job.

Pffft, job shmob. Like paying for food and rent takes precendence over talking about movies on the internet.

DH mostly writes for TV Guide and Film Journal International. (His Grudge review, which I suppose after all that I should link to, is here. )

If I only had a brain...

Yes, I have a childish sense of humor. Minor Star Wars Revenge of the Clones spoiler: According to Ain't It Cool News, Yoda farts. This in itself isn't funny, but some of the AICN responses to it are. "It's like a thousand asses screamed out in terror, and suddenly silenced" "Much Taco Bell eaten I have!" "Yes, but...does Yoda poot first?" "The... force... is strong with this one."

If I could get paid for it then I'd be set for life. And see a lot more movies, since I could afford them. But alas alak such is not the fortune I have. It's good talking to you. Ciao.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I watched Wall Street last night. It was ... okay. Several observations:

1) It's pretty dated, which isn't much of a surprise.

2) Darryl Hannah is awful. Why does she get work? (But I did like her in movies that have "Kill" and "Bill" in the title.)

3) What did Charlie Sheen think would happen when he set out to take down Gekko? That he wouldn't be called to task on his own wrong-doings? Sheesh.

4) I did think Michael Douglas was very good.

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

Darryl Hannah is awful. Why does she get work?

She makes a good mermaid?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I heard a comedienne do a funny riff on her once, asking if she was the daughter of a studio head.
