This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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.

Up with the sun

I saw Constantine last night. I agree with the people upthread -- it's not actually a *good* movie, but it was fun to watch on an "ooh, shiny" level.

Also, I think Keanu Reeves missed his era by about 80 years -- in silent films, he probably would have been considered a great actor. It's just that the talking thing trips him up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"I want to thank Warner Brothers for casting me in this piece of s---," she said as she dragged her agent on stage and warned him "next time read the script first."

Heh.

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

Does anyone have any good recommendations for Oscar picks? I just want to read thoughtful snippets on the major awards.

I have Ebert so far.

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

EW does picks. There was more in the print version.

A summary of major critics picks in the major categories.

And then there's Gold Derby: [link]

I think most of just do the major categories.

I am trying to fill out my oscar pool ballot and I'm having a hard time. I'm thinking of splitting my picture director vote. Giving MDB Best Picture and Scorsese director, as sort of a hedge. But the safe bet would be MDB in both, wouldn't it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm leaning toward the split myself, Sue. Scorsese's never won, right?

Scorsese's never won, right?

This is true.

Yes, and the Academy has been doing more splitting of the categories in the last couple of years. Think of Roman Polanski's win for The Pianist.

Okay it's 3:30 and I'm just getting dressed. I don't think I could be lazier.

Don't you fret, Sue -- I'm half dressed with wet hair, getting dressed for the first time since FRIDAY. You could clearly be lazier.
