You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

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.

If I only had a brain...

no genetalia (at least outside of anime)

Literally, in the case of In The Realm Of The Senses.

I love the Incredibles. I had a big happy goofy grin on my face. Nice and funny, funny and nice.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

You do not want to go there. Takeshi Miike is a madman, and the bits you saw during the show....nothing close to what you're going to get with the real thing.

Yeah. I read a few reviews and several people were hinting at something about piano wires, and... what was served up by my imagination was horrific enough. I was mainly interested because several reviewers said it had interesting (if extreme) things to say about gender politics, but OK, it sounds like I'd be better off giving it a pass.

Another social casualty...

Just got back from The Incredibles.

Loved it like a crazy person. I want my very own Edna.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I saw Audition a few weeks ago. There were a few very brief things I'd classify as "scary," but I wouldn't put the graphic torture in as "scary."

"Gross," "jaw-dropping" and "what the shit IS this," yes.

Edna was a dead-on portrait (at least physically) of the legendary Hollywood costume designer Edith Head.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Edna is a delight and a wonder. The whole montage on why capes are BAD had me in pain from the funny.

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

I love The Incredibles so so much and I want to watch it again a MILLION times.

I can already tell it's going to be one of those movies where the crypoints are going to bleed into the surrounding scenes until I'm quietly tearing up throughout the entire film. It's going to be Lilo & Stitch all over again. (There was actually a point towards the end where I realized that the giant machine they fight basically IS a mechanical Stitch, the way it tucks in its arms and rolls around destroying stuff.)

I have a plan.

Pierce Brosnan wants Colin Farrell.

That was very intentional.

I LOVED the cape montage. SO HILARIOUS!

(There was actually a point towards the end where I realized

OMG!!!! IT IS!!!!!!!!

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

I've often said that I don't want any more film adaptations of Alan Moore comics, because they always seem to go very, very badly. And within 5 minutes of The Incredibles, I was jumping up and down in my seat, elbowing Ethan and whispering "IT'S WATCHMEN!!!!!!"

How much do I love Pixar? THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS much!
