I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

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 can't even.

I feel compelled to say that anyone who can turn a phrase like that ain't nobody's bobble-head. Spicy brains!

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

If I have to stake my identity on Spencer Tracy then so be it.

I t heart my seekrit GF.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Timelies!

Details on the vacation in Natter.

I've only seen Barrymore's and Tracy's Jekyll and Hyde. I think I prefer Barrymore.

And March and Lake did have great chemistry in I Married a Witch.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm most amused by this question:

Man, I love Frederick March. What are your five favorite Frederick March movies?

Because I have NO idea who in the hell he is. So the over-the-top-ness of not just loving the dude, but then rattling off 5 favorite movies, makes me laugh.

This is not a matter of opinion. This is a matter of demonstrable fact. All you are doing is convincing me that your critical faculties have shrunken to the size of a...a withered currant.

Hec has bogarted ALL the bossiness EVER.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Isn't an unwithered currant a grape?

A good joke is worth repeating....

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

Nothing Sacred, Best Years Of Our Lives, I Married A Witch, Dr. Jekyll and Hyde - He's the best Hyde ever..."

What? No "A Star Is Born"? Harrrumph.

And March and Lake did have great chemistry in I Married a Witch.

But not as much as Lake and Ladd in "The Blue Dahlia" and "Glass Key". Ladd is such a wee man, kind of blandly-pretty, but you put him next to Veronica Lake, and... whoa.

I keep thinking that Lake is tall--I guess it's the way she carried herself--and I'm always bemused when I realize how tiny she is on screen.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Isn't an unwithered currant a grape?

No, it's a rather pretty red berry. We had them at bookgroup last night -- unwithered currants, that is. They were kinda seedy and nicer to look at than to taste.

Frederick March. Wasn't he the March brother no one talks about? (What with the way he stole Beth's laudanum for his sad drug habit and all.)

Ah, yes. A perfect original followed by a perfect remake.
