I'm envisioning a Spanish version of Crazy Taxi.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Note to world: Law of Desire is not actually a good enough movie to seek out. I saw it on (unexpurgated) television, and I rate it above dubbed Cary Grant movies, but below dubbed Poseidon Adventure, on the enjoyably bad scale.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
I'm envisioning a Spanish version of Crazy Taxi.Close, but also not so much. You need to see this flick, man. Mujer al Borde de Atacque de Nervios is the untranslated title. Goooood stuff.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Upon seeing the preview for Pacifier, my not-boyfriend said Diesel was following Schwartzenegger's example of mixing bad broad comedy with action movies to give him a more cuddly image.
I was about to say, it sounds a heck of a lot like Kindergarten Cop.

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 have no opinion on Moulin Rouge as the trailers repelled me enough to stay far far away. SO not my thing. Also it bugged the crap out of me to hear it so praised and awarded when Hedwig was released the same year, was so damned fabulous, and yet not Oscar-nominated. Hrmph.
I saw Finding Neverland yesterday. I enjoyed it but expected it to be better. It was pretty schmoopy but very pretty.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The key to enjoying Moulin Rouge is acceptance that in spirit it's a Bollywood musical, or better yet, an absinthe hallucination.
Are Nutty and I the only Buffistas who have seen Kinsey so far?

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

I saw it a few weeks ago. I liked it well enough, but wanted more historical context.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw it. I liked it, especially the performances, whcih were impressive all the way around. I felt the last 45 minutes was a little draggy, but on the whole I was engrossed throughout.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
We're generally in agreement, Jessica -- both Theo and I wanted more context too. Or, more of a sense of the social impact. But I imagine it's hard to show visually how frightening new knowledge can be to those firmly entrenched in old/wrong knowledge.
