Now I'm morbid, but amused.
I live to please. Especially you.

She's back again in Supremacy.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

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 don't know if it's rentable, but the gigantic Criterion edition of Brazil has a wonderful commentary by Gilliam. He gets entertainingly ranty.
It's weird how we're so critical of Hollywood blockbusters when they don't make sense but movies like this get a free pass.
There's a difference between movies that reward rewatching because the action is complicated or dense, and movies where rewatching just makes you notice even more appalling nonsense. I suppose it's a matter of whether I feel like the creators knew what was happening and why, instead of having the strong impression that they didn't give a damn.

I have a plan.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhauser gate.
Is this a discussion about classicly good sci fi films?
Cause this quote really throws me into nostalgia mode for 'Soldier'.

Thomash and I are both rather fond of this one - Kurt Russell playing a lead character who has all of three lines... Jason Isaacs... half the nursing staff from ER...

19.
IIRC, we counted.
We also drank. Heavily.
Snuck a flask into the theatre, had a DD, and had a merry good time.
I think our pal Bri said nothing but "Sir, yes Sir!" for the next four hours.

I'm watching The Limey right now. I am large with the Soderbergh love, and this movie is one of the reasons why.

Oh, MAN, I love that movie.
Even with the weird moment where I start to wonder if someone on the production knew my parents or something.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I need to get out more, I think. I haven't seen any of these movies.

I think my personal favorite scene is probably the one where Nicky Katt stands surrounded by extras, giving a speech about what a lame job being an extra is.

Heh. Some similarities to Terry Valentine?

Yes you do. The Limey is great. Terrance Stamp totally kicks ass in that movie.
