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.

"I'd ... see this ... again."

They just have to get William Shatner to voice it. It'd work.

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

But then some people might be suspicious of the editing. Maybe: "see this."

I finally saw Hero. Yes, I'm behind the curve.

Wow. I think that's the most beautiful movie I've ever seen.

Wow.

It's pretty damn stunning, isn't it?

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Beautiful, yes. Bit fucking dull, though, eh? I mean, after the 32nd identical-but-in-different-coloured-silk slo-mo wire-ballet fight didn't you start to wish Jackie Chan would turn up and just twat one of them?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Not so much, no.

One person's dull is another's mesmerizing I guess.

Also, that Willy Wonka thing is fucking creepy.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

How does House of Flying Daggers compare to Hero? I know the former has opened in New York. A few reviews I've read weren't as uniformly enthusiastic as the ones about Hero.

Zhang Ziyi has been busy, I see. Gotta say, I'm apprehensive about Memoirs of a Geisha. I love that book, and it feels wrong that movie is going to be in English.

NoiseDesign said he liked it better than Hero.
