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.
The accent is throwing me. I love Bale's voice, and I'm going to have to hear a lot more of the voice with a US accent to get used to it.
Huh. I may have to see this movie more than once. What d'you think?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I probably wouldn't have noticed if Batman Beyond weren't a thing of its own.
And I probably wouldn't have typed it if it weren't so it's a sad catch-22. I should watch the trailer again, to help it stick.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
If you must. In the interest of accuracy.

Batman. Batman. Batman.
So Million Dollar Baby just opened here...starring "Hilary Snoke" according to the radio spot, but her name is correct (albeit in Greek characters) on the marquee.
Worth a several-kilometer walk through the snow while pregnant to see? Given that I am spoiled for the HSQ thing.
In other news, I think my DH may be going for a Section 8 discharge (if the Foreign Service has those). He pretty much only speaks in movie quotes anyway, but apparently in staff meeting yesterday when asked what he wanted, he responded "I want Tina Sparkle to walk through that door and say 'The Finance Minister's broken both his legs and I want to dance with YOU!'"
His secretary told me this, in a worried tone of voice. My response was "That was unexpected."

Hey. New board.
Wow. That Ong movie looks... awesome.

HHGTG still -- I wonder if this is pre-effect, since Zaphod's just got the one head. Does anyone know how many books it covers?

Just the first, I think. I love the design of Marvin, although my friend commented that the designer clearly took the phrase "brain the size of a planet" literally.

Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. -Bierce
My understanding is that it sets up restaurant in a casual sort of way, so probably just the first book/first three (four?) radio eps sort of thing.
I have stopped looking for Zaphod info, for fear of anger, but I have heard both it's in his nose and his head rolls back and his beard is the hair on head two of course I have also heard that it is pre-effect.
So if nothing else, self-motivated disinformation campaign on the part of the filmmakers, huge success.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I read somewhere that they made up something where only one head is visible most of the time -- for budgetary reasons, apparently.
