Aimee! I was just coming in to ask if anyone had the dvd yet. How was it?
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.
I'm not Aimée, and I haven't even watched disk 1 yet, but I'm really giddy about the Sarah Vowell featurette.
I'm with Frankenbuddha on the Boys from Brazil.
Also My teeth hurt.
THE INCREDIBLES!!!!
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.
Best Buy is having a sale also.
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 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.
You know Edna Mode is an homage to Edith Head, right?
Edited to add link: [link] (It plays music, beware.)
Heh. I do. t edit This woman had a totally different face shape -- much more like the Edna character and much less like the actual Edith.
The Natural is an eccentric reworking of the Fisher King story.
A friend of mine told me that in college, and I thought he was being silly. Then I watched it again. It really is, and I liked it a lot more after that. I think all the mythologcial references offset the anvils somehow. I mean, legends aren't supposed to be subtle.
