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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Hey, y'know what'd be fun? Another Casino Royale style Bond caper.

Yeah...there's Austin Powers, but something with a little more class would be nice.

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

Interview with Audrey Tautou (star of Amélie) about her new movie, also directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

It's a big critical and financial success in France.

Got an extra 5 grand lying around? You too, can buy the entire Criterion Catalogue, including out of print titles.

I drooling at this, I have to admit.

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

These out-of-print titles are not included: BEAUTY & THE BEAST (Original release, spine # 6), BANK DICK, THE; BLOOD FOR DRACULA; DEAD RINGERS; FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN; HARD BOILED; HOW TO GET AHEAD IN ADVERTISING; M (Original release, spine #30); NOTORIOUS; PLAYTIME; REBECCA; ROBOCOP; SALO; SID & NANCY; SILENCE OF THE LAMBS; SPELLBOUND; STRAW DOGS; THE KILLER; UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING, THE; and THIS IS SPINAL TAP.

Deal breaker...

Actually, I don't. Not on DVD, anyway.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

Yeah...there's Austin Powers, but something with a little more class would be nice.

Austin Powers didn't even come to mind.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Saw National Treasure. It was good. Not as good as Pirates of the Carribbean, by any means, but good. See if you can guess the password before Ben Gates does!

Also, just saw Christmas with the Kranks. Apparently most of the audience liked it. I was ready to walk out about ten minutes in. Not funny, not heartwarming, not good. And some people applauded at the end! I was also distracted by Jamie Lee Curtis actually looking older than she really is. And by her shimmery pale eyeshadow.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The Criterion Spinal Tap's been out of print for ages. There's another version out there, that's the one most people have. (Same goes for all of the out-of-print ones, I think -- Criterion let their rights lapse, so someone else released them.)
