I ended up seeing Dodgeball last night, too. The horror....the HORROR! Alan Tudyk was enough to make me keep me from turning it off in the beginning, and it got better once the actual dodgeball started, but a while there, it was painful. I really like everyone involved, too, so I don't know why this didn't click for me.
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 forgot to mention that there was a preview for Sin City last night at The Aviator. And gawd demmit it was a beautiful and exciting preview as well.
Watched Garden State last night. Am very happy to report that it lived up to all expectations. I was a little teensy bit disappointed by the ending, but it didn't cause me to like the movie any less.
Alicia, does the ending work better for you if you know that Zach Braff intended for this to be sort of a modern version of The Graduate?
I watched The Garden State last night too!
AIWFG. Well, very good at least. Much better than Wimbeldon, which was almost painfully bitng, despite my love and lust for both Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst.
Yeah, great film. Almost as funny and sweet as Napoleon Dynamite.
Yes, in that it still leaves you with the question as to whether or not it's going to work out between them, but I was hoping they'd leave it a little more unsure and end it just before that last moment.
I finally saw Blade: Trinity. Truly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The only reason I didn't walk out was that someone else drove to the theater. Well, that, and I was waiting for Ryan Reynolds to take his shirt off. Awesome body. Now if his character would've just SHUT UP. That's a character whose best accessory is a ball gag.
I think you should listen to the commentary, Alicia. The way it was explained, I don't see how they would have been able to do it the way you wanted. However, I do have to say that I was completely expecting him to just leave, go back to LA and never see Sam again.
I can't wait to watch Garden State with commentary. The hairs on the back of my neck still stand up when 'Let Go' starts.
Signed,
I have an abnormal, deep, and entirely too emotional connection to this movie.
