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'd better let her borrow my goth music video tape.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I liked Big Fish, but not as much as I expected, given the Ewanocity and Burtonish nature of the movie. Now that I'm in the throws of my Billy C. obsession I may have to rewatch.

Nope. Though I will note that it is much more common for people to sit through the credits in LA than in any other place I've lived. Largely because people tend to know the gaffer or makeup or special effects people buried deep in the credits. They'll be rolling along for five minutes and then some sound tech's name appears and all his friends applaud.

Scarlett Johannsen turned twenty today.
Twenty?!
And in other news:
Actor William H. Macy is turning his back on critically-acclaimed, independent films to star in big-budget blockbusters. The Fargo star is proud of his filmography, but now he's a father to Sophia, four, and Georgia, two, he claims it's time he started bringing home the big bucks. Macy, who recently tasted big-budget film-making with his role in Jurassic Park III, says, "My a** is for sale, and I want to do big movies that pay a lot of money to shoot in LA. Starting right now: no more art. Recently, I realized I've got all these artistic frequent-flier miles and so, I'm cashing them in. I want to do big, fat movies. I've got two little kids. It changes when you have kids. You quickly do an inventory and wonder if you should start apologizing in advance. But my daughter just tore the seat out of a chair - so that's worth one movie right there. I'll just remind her of that when she's old enough."

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 liked but didn't love Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine. I want to see Finding Neverland , Kinsey, Bad Education, and Spongebob.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She'd better watch it.
In a Sept. 7 interview in The New York Times, the newly minted, 18-year-old It Girl, star of Lost in Translation and the forthcoming Girl with a Pearl Earring -- in both films, she plays muse to a man in midlife crisis -- blithely declaimed that "for older women, death happens inside" and that older men need a "young, fertile, fruitful woman" to "help them across that bridge."
Menopausal women won't do, insisted Johansson, who just graduated this past spring from NYC's Professional Children's School. Being an older man, she analogized, is like "you just got evicted. And you're with someone who's going to be evicted. All you can do is complain how bad it is. . . .
"But then somebody comes along who's not being evicted, who says . . . 'Come stay with me.' "
Every year is one tick closer to the dumpster.
