It's a trick that comes easier to some people than others -- it does help to be a speed reader. But there's also the factor of getting used to it.

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.

What's that list of 30 refer to, exactly? I've seen all but 3 -- Polar Express, Being Julia, and The Village.
All the big US releases that have been nominated for an Oscar of some sort. I left off the foreign films and the shorts, and that's it. I think. I was trying to figure out which Oscar-nominated movies I'd seen, that it would be very easy to go see-- seeing a foreign film or a short requires some work. And I came up with that list, from the master list, with all the nominees for best picture, acting, writing, art design, sound, makeup, music, etc.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ah, gotcha. I figured it was something like that, just wasn't sure where it came from.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Woot! TiVo nabbed The Black Swan off AMC. A rare full-color swashbuckler from the golden age, and big budget too. Tyrone Power unshaven and bitter (and also shirtless and on the rack). Maureen O'Hara. It's a gorgeous production with some fine looking ships as well.
Fay and Betsy should come over to my house and watch it with me.

If I only had a brain...
I should go kick my TiVo if it missed that. Dayamn.

Has anyone here seen Happy Together? I watched it tonight and it seemed Buffista-y. It had one gay love scene, two beautiful/sad love stories, and three people stuck in a foreign country (a la Lost in Translation, but better). Plus, it had what I think may be Tony Leung's best performance (which is saying something). There were some scenes in it which I know will stay with me a long time.

The Black Swan. Yum. Much goodness.
I'm trying to find a movie and I don't even know where to start googling...it's a British ghost story, a couple moves into a big house, maybe in Cornwall, and the house is haunted. I can't remember who starred in it or anything, just that it was once recommended to me as a good ghost story movie. Any ideas?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Any ideas?
What era was the movie made in? That would help narrow it down. Something recent or older?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Has anyone here seen Happy Together?
I have. What I liked about it most was the end, where the main character meets that young sprat down at Tierra del Fuego, and he takes the voice recorder to "say something momentous" at the bottom end of the world, and he can't come up with any words.
A very Wong Kar-wai movie. (Which, I mean, it is.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Any ideas?
Sounds potentially like THE UNINVITED with Ray Milland and t /memfault , but they were brother and sister I believe, not husband and wife. Don't quote me on the latter, but that's what I recall.
Unless it's modern day-ish (as in, not from the 40s). Then I have no idea (or too many).
