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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Stop saying that.

It's the trauma. Once is too much.

I mean, I don't even give a flying fart about Sue Storm, and I think that's crap casting. On par with Halle/Storm, perhaps.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Pillaged from the library's DVD collection: Donnie Darko, Chicago (both of which I've never seen), Return of the King, and Rushmore (both of which I have seen, but I missed the hobbitses and I also thought I'd give Rushmore another chance).

How much do I love my library? Free DVD borrowing. You get them for 2 days, and can only renew them once. However, you can't put a reserve on movies, so you have a guaranteed renewal for 2 more days.

If you cleverly take them out on a Wednesday and renew them on Friday, you have them all weekend, since the library is closed on Sunday.

God bless the public library system of Hamilton County.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Ultimate FF has made me actually *like* them, just in time for the movie to make me hate them. Phooey.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Okay, they did cast Jessica Alba as Sue Storm in The Fantastic Four.

Auuuughhhh!!!

I think puberty tends to be a lot more dramatic among boys than girls, which would jeapordize the sales potential of a cute wittle face.

This would be the Fred Savage lesson.

Oh! Also the Anthony Michael Hall lesson.

Compassionately intolerant

K-Pax had potential but ended up falling into a trap that makes me sooooo mad. It's right up there with the daddy-boss-baddie dodge.

It's the tired everyone who has ever been abused as a child grows up to either be cracked or a serial killer trap. We have to excuse/understand their behavior because...well...you know.

It's simplistic, insulting and just plain bad storytelling.

PS: Thanks to the Stompie who staunched my bleeding bold yesterday.
Stompies rule.
