How could a movie look this good?
I know how it could look better -- a wee tweak of the cast list.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

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 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

Yep. Playing a prostitute, IIRC.

Hey. New board.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Emmett and I saw the Lemony Snicket movie today. It was pure goth porn, and by porn I mean art direction. The end credits alone were one of the coolest things I've seen this year. JZ described them as a combination of Edward Gorey / Tim Burton / and the shadow puppet animation of the Prince Achmed movie.
I thought Carrey was fine, but he distorted the focus of the movie on Count Olaf instead of on the Baudelaires. JZ hated him and thought he did nothing but distracting schtick. We both agreed the sets, costuming and children's performances were stellar.

It's really one of the prettiest movies I've ever seen. Quite lush and gorgeous.

Plan on staying through the end credits. I could have easily watched a whole movie just in the style of the end credits.

Are you ready to be strong?
I agree w/ JZ wrt Carrey.
Brad & Jen have a production company where they're producing movies that don't necessarily star either of them, so y'all probably don't have to worry.
