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 know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I just went to imdb to check out Gary Rydstrom (and his resume is quite the impressive list of films), and saw that Buffy season 7 is out.
I just want to thank you all for talking me into Netflix. Thanks.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Like I said, green is not his color.
::shudder:: That's pretty dorky.
Boundin' is my new favorite Pixar short.
Huh. I was really annoyed at being delayed from the movie I came to see. But I'm a curmudgeon.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
this week's Nova is about the real story behind The Great Escape.
Kathy, I'm planning to watch that too. The Great Escape remains one of my favorite movies. Plus, the bit about Steve McQueen's character (Capt. Hilts) and the covertly brewed alcohol was taken from the story of a distant cousin, Col. Jerome Jonathon "Jerry" (Jessup) Sage.
eta: Very distant, I just looked it up: he was my Dad's 5th cousin

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ahh....I always look forward to the shorts just as much as the movie.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I'm watching TAR tonight, so I'll be catching Nova in a rerun, probably over the weekend. I have the DVD for Great Escape, and it has a making-of doc on it that goes into a bit of the real-life story, but not enough for me. I really love Great Escape, as well as other WWII films like The Dirty Dozen, A Road Too Far (saw this one in the theater, IIRC), and of course, HBO's Band of Brothers.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I usually like the Pixar shorts, but I didn't like Boundin' that much. I prefer when Pixar let's the visuals do the work in their short films.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bear in mind, he's reprising the role that made Michael Caine a star in Alfie.
Is that bad?
Every movie Jude Law wasn't in, Michael Caine is in.

Hey. New board.
I guess I just made it up. I remember thinking "Hmmm. That's not Pixar, what is it?" but now I've completely forgotten the trailer. Maybe I'm just insane.
Definitely not getting it confused with Boundin' though. Which was awesome.
Also, I'm sure the reason we didn't get Madagascar or Robots trailer is the whole "Disney-owned theater" thing. They only showed Disney trailers.

This fall? Ever? Or is it some sort of mysterious "haha! We're really the same person! You never actually saw us in the same room, did you" thing?
I have a feeling I'm missing some sort of necessary context.
