Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

I thought "Finding Neverland" was FG. And yeah, Malamud's "Natural" not so gee-whiz.

I really liked Boys From Brazil, myself. I think it translates to celluloid pretty well, but I'm culturally biased.

This is a soccer movie? The only Boys From Brazil I remember involved a plot to clone Hitler and had Gregory Peck (entertainingly) miscast as Dr. Mengale.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Aimee! I was just coming in to ask if anyone had the dvd yet. How was it?

I'm not Aimée, and I haven't even watched disk 1 yet, but I'm really giddy about the Sarah Vowell featurette.

We picked ours up at Target after baseball practice. Emmett deems this the greatest Tuesday in recent history. Btw, it's on sale at Target through Saturday. Got the two disc set, widescreen for $15.98. That's a good price around here.

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

There's another Boys From Brazil, I'm guessing. This wasn't Hitler -- just a doc. It was more about the sport onscreen than anything else.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

THE INCREDIBLES!!!!

I met a woman Saturday night who really truly is a human Edna Mode. The hair, the glasses (well the human Edna's glasses were clear frames, not black, but just as huge and thick), the 'tude -- it was uncanny. The people I was with had to forcibly stifle their laughter until human!Edna walked away.
