Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

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 can't even.

I saw the Incredibles tonight with a gang of friends. We all loved it, no big shock there.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I can't wait for Sunday. It needs to get here NOW.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I own it too, though it may be on the list of ones I was supposed to send Anne and Kate P months and months ago.

Heh. I think you were going to send me Jurassic Park and The Philadelphia Story, but if you also wanted to get rid of Impromptu (and if it's still unclaimed), I wouldn't argue with that...

Don't tell Steph I said this, but I suck. Maybe I can pretend it is a Christmas present?

Lee, no worries, really. Whenever you get around to sending them out is fine.

Don't tell Steph I said this, but I suck.

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

The best films you've never seen.

Among the better-known films reviewed in the book are "Ronin," a crackling thriller starring Robert De Niro and directed by John Frankenheimer (with some "impressive car chases," Turan writes with understatement); "High Fidelity," the John Cusack film based on the Nick Hornby novel about music and relationships; "Spirited Away," the already-classic work of Japanese animation; "Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey," a documentary about the inventor of the strange electronic instrument; and "The Third Man," director Carol Reed's classic work, from a script by Graham Greene, set -- and filmed -- in the bombed-out rubble of postwar Vienna (and featuring Orson Welles' great "cuckoo clock" speech).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. Those liars. I think I've seen all those.

I don't remember much of the Theremin one. But there were Theremins in it.

Yeah, I've seen and liked the first three. Didn't know they were considered to be underappreciated.

From the Polar Express review:

This season's biggest holiday extravaganza, "The Polar Express," should be subtitled "The Night of the Living Dead." The characters are that frightening.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The Flick Filospher says that the animators actually transformed Steven Tyler into an elf--"it's something that should only be attempted in a horror film."
