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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Is that the Guy Maddin movie Irma Vep? I haven't seen it, but I've heard very good things.

It was a theatre production we saw in New Haven. The play is by Charles Ludlam; I don't know the movie version, but it might well be the same one. A search on IMDB for the title only turned up this, which doesn't look like what you're talking about.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

My objection is to either of them being the main characters

I love Irma Vep. So much fun. And very not a good play to be adapted to a movie (it's a 2-actor show with each playing several characters through quick changes, which is a good bit of the fun). Assuming I'm not talking about a different one. I don't remember that line, but that doesn't necessarily mean much.

DebetEsse, that's the one. It's a campy show about vampires and werewolves and mummies that's also a sendup of Rebecca, with all the parts played by two (male) actors. So much fun. Kristin and I laughed like lunatics throughout the whole thing.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Ah, I'm conflating two different movies in my head.

Hey. New board.

Sin City Trailer

How did I not know this was coming out?

How could a movie look this good?

Why is 2005 gonna be so exciting for me?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How could a movie look this good?

I know how it could look better -- a wee tweak of the cast list.

I didn't just see Alexis Bledel on that cast list, did I?

And wow, Mickey Rourke. Coolness.

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

I didn't just see Alexis Bledel on that cast list, did I?

Yep. Playing a prostitute, IIRC.

Particular one you've got in mind?

Bruce Willis and Brittany Murphy both make me itch.

Playing a prostitute, IIRC.

If she's playing a female role, the odds are good she's a whore. Or soon dead. Or both.
