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've loved her ever since I first saw her in Orlando. Hell, I willingly paid to see a Leonardo DiCaprio movie because she was in it!

In other news, I just found out that she's going to be the White Witch in the film version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

I've loved her ever since I first saw her in Orlando.

I don't get the Tilda love. I hated, hated, hated Orlando. And I think the only other movie I saw her in was Female Perversions, which made me almost run screaming from the theatre. I tend to avoid movies she's in because I assume they will be pretentious pieces of crap.

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

I think she is one of the most beautiful people ever to walk the face of the earth, and I hear she is a lovely woman, but I find her a terribly limited actress.

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

I just did a Google to clarify.

I think she's not good looking. Elfin, but without the good bits.

I liked her in The Deep End, didn't hate her in Orlando. Mostly I don't remember she exists.

I tend to avoid movies she's in because I assume they will be pretentious pieces of crap.

So, I am lucky I've only ever seen one movie she's been in, plus a lot of still photos. Good to know!

Well, I'm just basing it on two...so I'm probably not being the master of rational thought.

And I'm being a liar at that because I just looked her up on IMDB, and I've seen her in Vanilla Sky, Adaptation, and Wittgenstein too. But I don't remember her in any of those.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

She was in Adaptation? Huh. I liked her in The Deep End, which had the added bonus of Goran Visjnic.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hmm. I've seen three of her movies-- Orlando, The Deep End, and Adaptation. I liked all three movies and *loved* her in The Deep End. I thought she was marvellous, playing against type.

I should rent Young Adam.

I have no feelings one way or the other about Tilda Swinton.

I watched The Village yesterday, and it took me a little while to get into it, but I ended up quite liking it. I think it helped that I knew the "twist" going in, so I didn't feel cheated by it. But I thought it was nicely atmospheric and creepy, and Bryce Dallas Howard was luminous--she reminded me more than a little of Rebecca Lizard, actually.
