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.

Now that I have gotten my 76-years-old-and-not-media-savvy mom to join Netflix, we are having some very interesting conversations.

That's a cute story about your mom. I think someone should write a paper about netflix and how it changes the ways people interact with movies. I don't use their new 'friends' feature (I don't care for it) but my friends and I will email each other weird or nostaglia-inducing things we find on it and it's a lot of fun. Plus, it's given me access to things I never would have seen before and I'm watching about three movies a week. I don't know if everybody has the same experience, but it's swerved my life a little bit.

I think that Jack Davenport could have made a good Constantine. He can do world weary and he can do a British accent (what with being from Suffolk and all). OK, he's not blond, but if there's any kind of good left in the universe Keanu won't be either.

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

I don't see the razors in Jack Davenport. Or, well, I haven't. That's why I like CKR so much.

I'd give Alexis Denisof a shot too.

Clive Owen would have been a good Constantine, as a bleached blond.

I don't see the razors in Jack Davenport.

I think I saw a hint of them in Ultraviolet. Small hints, in an ocean of angst.

Oh, I'd be looking forward to an AD Constantine, too. CKR wouldn't be bad at all -- and physically he's the closest person I've heard suggested.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I think I saw a hint of them in Ultraviolet. Small hints, in an ocean of angst.

Damn. That reminds me that I taped Ultraviolet lo these many months ago when it aired on Sci-Fi, and I still haven't watched it. This is why I have to see things in real time.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Jack Davenport is totally the wrong class. He'd be laughable.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Jack Davenport is totally the wrong class. He'd be laughable.

As opposed to Keanu?

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

Last week I watched Chupacabra on Sci-Fi and noticed John Rhys-Davies appeared to be the only professional actor in the cast. The week before that I watched Larva also on Sci-Fi and realized I had no idea how heavily a writer could rely on the idiot plot to advance his story. I really should try to get out more.

Edit: typo.

Why was JRD in Chupacabra? I wanted to find evidence it was filmed before LotR, but didn't. He should be parlaying, surely.
