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.
Who's box office poison?
Once upon a time, Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich.
Yes, I did. Should I rectify the omission?
To be honest, I couldn't really say. I mean, I have seen it but we're talking 15 years ago at least. I do recall enjoying it and Walter seemed to be having a ball. I guess it's worth a look.
Heh--a delightfully irreverent look at movies about men in skirts, featuring stills with lots o' leg.
On the highbrow sorcery end are a raft of Arthurian legends. Then there are the Shakespearean skirt films, which tend to attract better actors (Laurence Olivier, morose in peroxide hair and a tunic, in "Hamlet") but to feature, sadly, less perspiration.
Princess Mononoke is very very good. Spirited Away is better.
On a related note: what's the general consensus on Princess Mononoke?
I enjoyed it. It's not my favoritist anime evah, but it's definitely good stuff.
My daughter just called to tell me she rented HP3 for me this morning. She is a good kid.
Renting?! I'm going to Best Buy straight after work to buy the thing!
It's my preciousssss, yessss precioussssssss, my - wait, wrong movie (20 more days). t evil laugh
HP3 was definitely worth a few extra viewings in the theater (I saw it three or four times), and I'm also buying it on the way home tonight (beathen, Circuit City has it on sale today and tomorrow for $14.99; I don't know if Best Buy is price matching that). Now let's see if I can just get that DVD (and possibly a few CDs) and get out before having anything else catch my eye that's not a Christmas gift!
Best Buy lowers the standard price in the first week of a release, so I know I'll get a compatible price. I also have a reward zone card that allows me to accrue points. Once I've spent about $150 I'll get a $5 gift certificate. Since I tend to buy at Best Buy often this is a pretty good deal. Thanks for the info about Circuit City, though.
My extra purchase tonight will be the Polar Express soundtrack because Josh Groban sings a song for the album. I love his music. He's coming to town March 1 and I'm going to buy front row seats if I can get them.
I'm trying to replace some of my old audio tapes with CDs, and I'm on the hunt for INXS's "Kick" album, as well as the cast recording for the revival of "Guys and Dolls" (I caught the relevant episode of PBS's "Broadway Musicals" show last night, and was singing along with the gamblers: I got the horse right here/His name is Paul Revere).
