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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just had a fun conversation with one of the document clerks. In the middle of a conversation about a client's employee named Veronica lastname, I looked at her and asked if she was a old movie buff. She blinked, then answered, "yes... why?". I started laughing and told her she had just called the employee Veronica Lake.

She had to admit the question made sense. Eventually.

I watched "Gangs of New York". Marty Scorsese owes me two and half hours of my life. Nothing says "streetwise" like Cameron Diaz. They should've used Jewel Staite.

Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. -Bierce

At least Ms. Diaz gives us a serious contender for the DB honorary lucky charms accent title.

No doubt. And you know thieves have "bouncing and behaving hair." Without running water. Do you think if I sent him a bill he'd send me something(kidding.) But it was important to me to see it because it proves that anyone can make something that fails. I really think "Kaylee" could have played the hell out of that part. Because she's still pretty but she could make you believe she had it rough. Or if it was the '80s or something, Melissa Leo.

I was able to overlook the suckitude of her, because DLL and (to a lesser extent) LDC were good enough. However, the ending of that movie sucked sucked sucked. Yes, yes, I know, it was realistic. It's not that it wasn't a happy ending, it's just that it had nothing to do with anything that had happened before. Not dramatically satisfying.

Oh, hell yes.

I didn't get that far. Fuck it. DDL was amazing, though, it's true. And I appreciated the detail and the street scenes. It's just the story lasted a week, I think. I hate being disappointed that much. (I think y'all know that violence and a downbeat ending wouldn't stop me by now) Anne, thanks. Because she's good looking and has the bust for the naked scenes but you could believe she might've had to sleep in a doorway. That character was supposed to be tough. I know most people do not know who JS is, but people who loved "Something About Mary" and "The Mask" are not flocking to dark historical epics anyway, are they?

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

Actually, hey, wouldn't Terry O'Quinn make a good Dr. Manhattan? Or is he too short? He's bald enough.

It'd be funny if they got Johnny Depp to play Captain Jack Sparrow as the dude who gets stranded on the island of the dead folk. And by funny I mean it wouldn't work at all and they probably won't put that in the movie anyway.

I can think of how this could work, because I do love movies and I do love Watchmen, but it's far, far easier to fuck it up, eh? Oh dear.

Benicio del Toro as Rorschach...could work.

Jack Black as the Comedian! I'm just making shit up now.
