Sin City in the Galaxy of Fame. Merciful Zeus, I love FameTracker.
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.
Ha!
"Hi, I'm Jessica Alba. After Honey tanked, I went to my agent and said, 'How about a totally different direction? I'd like to produce and star in a biography of famed suffragette Carrie Nation -- she's a real-life superhero. I feel I could bring both passion and nuance to the role. And my agent said, 'That sounds good. Why don't we give the naked belly-dancing thing one more try, though?' Well, looks like she was right. Thanks, agent!"
There's no Clive. I guess he's too cool to track?
Elijah's was my favorite:
Hi, I'm Elijah Wood. Go ahead. Call me Frodo now. No, seriously, I want you to. Come on. I just had my nails done."
"Hi, I'm Nicky Katt. Yeah, the guy who gets shot with the arrow. Yeah, the funniest thing in the movie. Once again, I stroll in and casually steal a film. And once again, no one recognizes me, so that the one thing everyone still remembers me from is Boston freaking Public."
I love Nicky Katt. He was totally the best part of the movie.
I actually remember him most from The Limey.
And then from Boston freaking Public.
BOILER ROOM!
I know Nicky Katt from Dazed and Confused and from meeting him as a friend of a friend at the Farmer's Market. The Bf spotted him and said--"Hey, that's Nicky Katt. He's a friend of Randy." BF called Randy and said "Guess who I'm sitting near?" Randy then called Nicky and told him to go meet the guy waving at him from two tables away. It was really funny and LAish. He was very nice--he and the BF talked motorcycles and cars for quite a while.
Ok, scary(ish) movie title needed. I think it's something like Gate oto Hell or something with Gate. Anyway, basically, a hellmouth opens up in thsi backyard and these teeny little evil demon guys, that you're totally supposed to be afraid but aren't cause-so cute, come running out and terrorize kids.
The Gate ! I love that movie. I mean, the little kid at the end kills the dinosaur thing with a toy rocket of love.
Robin always has the best LA stories.
I currently have Closer and A Chorus Line and Finding Neverland from Netflix. Since I have already watched the pretty Johnny and Kate movie, I think I'll watch A Chorus Line next. I'm noticing a theatrical theme in all the movies I have, though. Interesting.
Do people have any dancing movie recommendations? Netflix does not make it easy to find dancing movies.
Have you seen "Simply Ballroom," Alibelle?
