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.

Apparently Tom Welling and Maggie Grace are going to be the leads in the new version of The Fog. I have no idea how that's going to turn out.

With me rooting for the murderous ghost pirates, for starters.

Isn't there a Greek myth starring a princess of this name?

She was the one that fell in love with Odysseus on his Mediterranean Tour.

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

Odysseus on his Mediterranean Tour

Is there a T-shirt for that? I want a T-shirt for that.

Thanks, sumi! What a great, succinct definition. I was having a hard time placing her, and now I don't need to look her up. Yay!

How to pick the Oscars.

That Oscars list just makes me feel unprepared. Of the thirty big US releases, that would be extremely easy to see, I've seen seven: Hotel Rwanda, Shrek 2, Troy, The Aviator, The Incredibles, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Spider-Man 2.

Here's the list of 30, if anyone wants it. I think I fixed it so that there are no multiple entries:

"Being Julia"
"Maria Full of Grace"
"Kinsey"
"Closer"
"Before Sunset"
"The Motorcycle Diaries"
"Sideways"
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
"Vera Drake"
“Hotel Rwanda”
"Shark Tale"
"Shrek 2"
"House of Flying Daggers"
"The Phantom of the Opera"
"A Very Long Engagement"
"Collateral"
"Million Dollar Baby"
"Troy"
"The Sea Inside”
"Finding Neverland"
"Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events"
"The Passion of the Christ"
"The Village"
"The Aviator"
"The Incredibles"
"The Polar Express"
"Ray"
"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"
"I, Robot"
"Spider-Man 2"

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

What the fuck is up with remaking John Carpenter movies?

No doubt they'll remake Halloween next and this time it will show blood.

Then will come the remake of Escape from New York with The Rock as Plissken

Ann, that's a ferret.

Then will come the remake of Escape from New York with The Rock as Plissken

I was rather fond of the SNL version myself -- Escape from 'Escape from New York'.

And the sequel, Escape from 'New York, New York'.
