I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Gandalfe, how is your lovely wife? I've wondered, but I rarely cross paths with either of you.

Ooh! Amazing -- they'll also have Lemony Snicket costumes!

If any of you go, please oh please take photos. Lots and lots and lots of photos.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Now that I have gotten my 76-years-old-and-not-media-savvy mom to join Netflix, we are having some very interesting conversations. I add films on her queue for her, as she has lame dial-up at her house. I will randomly add films to her queue as I think of them and then check if she wants them when we speak. This leads to exchanges like: "I put Kinsey on there. You want to see that, right?"
"Yes, but I am too much of a prude to see it in a theater so this is good."
"You'll like it. You'll like the sociology in it."
"Will I find it too shocking?"
"Maybe a little. There's some nudity. And Liam Neesen and Peter Saarsgard kiss."
"Oh."
"It's kind of hot."
"Really?"
"Well, cute guys kissing."
"Hmm. Put it on the list."

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Gandalfe, how is your lovely wife? I've wondered, but I rarely cross paths with either of you.

Fine. She had surgery last Tuesday, but came home Saturday and is recovering nicely. Watching many, many movies while laid up.

Jillie, remember to tell her to flee the room when William Sadler appears.

Well, good for the nice recovery. And really, I can't think of a better occupation for being laid up than movie watching. Unless it's cat stacking, but we shall not go there.

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

Cat stacking is something you need to recover from, not do while trying to recover.

Which is why I wasn't going there. Go movie watching, choose movie watching!

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I really want to see The Wedding Date. And Bride and Prejudice. And Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Why aren't these movies out already?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I just saw an ad for "Constantine." I'll probably see it, but I am still very, very bitter that they didn't cast Callum Keith Rennie in the lead role. Of course, I would have also been delighted if they'd cast Sting, just because...
