It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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.

Uhuh.

If I only had a brain...

This is so beside the point. I mean, the Phantom is supposed to be hot and disturbing, not just vanilla hot. And apparently they wimped out big-time on the repulsive makeup.

Trust my rage

Dude, the Phantom is HAWT! That made up for a lot of the badness of the movie, which I saw yesterday.

I'm *hoping* it will be a gloriously cheesy, over-the-top trainwreck. With gorgeous costumes.

You won't be disappointed. I liked the play. Christine drove me more batty in the movie, however. But, see the above mentioned hotness made up for it (almost).

'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"

Is anyone but me excited about seeing Bad Education? Ah well.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

My bro and I are going to see Fat Albert, probably on Christmas Day, after the family foodfest. We're big dorks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Theodosia--I am.

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

Is anyone but me excited about seeing Bad Education? Ah well.

Saw it a couple of weeks ago. Tons of fun. Gael Garcia Bernal = GUH. Twisty storytelling from Pedro Almovodar = double-GUH.

Art Crawl!!!

Yahoo has a trailer for Kingdom of Heaven -- you know where Orlando Bloom plays a blacksmith who doesn't become a pirate.

Trust my rage

very much looking forward to Bad Education, but I suspect I will have to wait for the DVD.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

But still knows how to swordfight, apparently.

I'll probably see it, because swordfighting and knights and stuff. But I have to wonder about the wisdom of doing a movie about one of the Crusades while we're at war in the Middle East.
