Yeah, P-C does not like to be called PC, except when it suits him.
This holds for many aspects of my personality.
(In truth, I ask not to be called PC, but people do it anyway; thus, I feel justified in abusing this fact whenever possible.)

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I love the changes they made to make the tv series.
What changes was he complaining about? Other than the obvious casting changes?
(Although I admit to preferring the original Shau'ri of the movie to the woman they cast as Sha're in the show.)

Hey. New board.
Tonight was a Sideways, Finding Neverland double-header.
MY GOD.
Loved them both.
Both in top 10. Probably top 5. Of 2004.
MMMMM.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Exactly my thought. I laughed when I heard him distance himself on the commentary track.
Haven't listened to the commentary track on my copy of the Ultimate Edition but I read his criticism in an interview in a magazine. He was claiming at the time (circa 2002) that they were going to make sequels that would draw the original story back to where [t]he[y] wanted it to go originally. Dream on, monkey boy, that riverboat floated away a long time ago.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I went to see Ocean's Twelve today.
I walked out about 3/4 the way through it.
You are a smart man, Mr. S. Not even the inclusion of Eddie Izzard made it worth my matinee ticket price. The Julia Roberts as Julia Roberts meta bullshit was total watch-from-the-hall material. And, oh -- not funny. At all.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
The Clooney/Damon Sox vs. Yankees thing helped redeem it for me. I will never say it was a great film, but for me, it was a watchable one, and the sort of mental cotton candy I needed at the end of a long day.
But the Julia Roberts thing? Criminally stupid.

Always Anti-fascist!
Bummer. And I still wish I could've gotten the "Eternal Sunshine" love. Oh, well.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I saw The Aviator yesterday and dear god what a fantastic film. It's incredibly tight, the performances are dead-on, and the cinematography took my breath away, but not in a calling-attention-to-itself kind of way. (It's deliberately reminiscent of Citizen Kane, and the film is so riveting, and all of the elements are in such perfect balance that you never once think to yourself, "My, this is some find cinematograhpy I'm watching." But it is.)

Art Crawl!!!
I went to see Million Dollar Baby on Saturday.
You know, I wouldn't have chosen to go see it but a friend of mine had some bad news and I was visiting her to offer support and her friends were going to see this movie and invited her along.
Really not a good "cheering up" sort of movie.
I want to know what people who know something about boxing think of the idea that the world champion is also that world's dirtiest fighter -- I mean, how often can this woman clock somebody on the back of the head and get away with it?
