Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

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.

But now Jesus gets to paint his face, scream "Freeeeeedooommmmm" from the cross, and get revenge on Judas for killing Peter on the eve of his retirement.

Oh, I forgot to love on Avalon. But I thought that might be a "Well, duh, Erika respects Barry Levinson...that's frickin' novel." Well, wrod. So glad there are people who do not find it "too slow" like my family did. (smooches Hayden)

Aw, shucks... Maybe it's because Gibson is my Secret Celebrity Crazy Ex/What The Hell Was *I* thinking?! And also, used to post with Hayden all the time and now he's all paternal and shit like that, and not so much with the time having. (You know, I used to speak English, once0

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

Sad movies are very stressful:

Laughter may be good for your heart. A new study demonstrates that laughing causes the tissue that forms the inner lining of blood vessels, the endothelium, to expand and thereby increase blood flow - exactly what aerobic exercise does.

In a study presented yesterday at the meeting of the American College of Cardiology in Orlando, researchers had 20 healthy volunteers watch a 15-minute segment from "Kingpin," a 1996 Woody Harrelson comedy, and then 48 hours later view the opening battle scene from "Saving Private Ryan," the 1998 war movie starring Tom Hanks.
After each movie was shown, researchers used ultrasound to measure changes in blood vessel reactivity. On average, blood flow increased 22 percent after the Harrelson movie, comparable to the increase brought on by aerobic exercise, and decreased 35 percent after "Saving Private Ryan."

While a comedy can be good for people, a stress-inducing movie can have a negative effect on cardiac health, said Dr. Michael Miller, the lead author of the study.

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

Stress is bad for you? Get the FUCK out.

I thought the best scene in Avalon was after the boy thought he burned the store down--the grandpa, the son, and the boy were all so perfect in their turn.

There's a listing of 30 Under 30: Hollywood's Next Generation at vhi.com. They mention Orlando, both Gyllenhalls, Scarlett, and a bunch of others. The Fantastic Four movie seems to be getting some good buzz in advance, if this article is any indication.
