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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Oh. My. God.

For the two or three Buffistas who will appreciate this (hayden being one), I was just listening to the commentary track on ALFREDO GARCIA and they were talking about how Sam Peckinpah had two actors in the back of his head to play Benny....Warren Oates (natch) and...PETER FALK!

Turns out the two were friends, and given his work for Cassavettes I can sorata see it, but OH MY, does the mind boggle. I mean, Oates was brilliant, but I'd love to see Peter Falk doing the conversations with Al's head (not quite sure about the crab cleaning scene, but didn't really need Warren for that either).

Compassionately intolerant

I came out Meg Ryan on the Actor's Studio quiz.

That's me. Plucky.

Pluck, pluck, pluck. I got me plenty o pluck.

Plus...I'm short.

And people have always wanted to have what I'm having.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Anyone else seen Steamboy yet? I saw it yesterday and liked it a lot. The story wasn't as well told as it could have been, but I loved the mechanics of all the different steam-driven gadgets, and the fact that there were at least three different sides to the "what is science for/how should it be used?" debate, and none of them were presented as being 100% right. And, of course, the visuals were just stunning.

I was Sharon Stone on the Actors Studio quiz. Weird.

I really want to see Steamboy. It looks pretty spectacular.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Going back to the Wonder Woman casting discussion for a moment. Did anyone mention Peta Wilson's name?

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

She's too old. I also think her physical type is wrong, but she's definitely too old.

34 is too old?

To play someone in their 20s, yeah.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I was Helen Hunt on the quiz. YAY! I love her.
