Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

Compassionately intolerant

Alibelle, I can see the desire for that last missing scene...but then, it felt like a lot of stuff was left untidy: What was Marie's motivation? What, specifically, happened to Frankie and why doesn't he remember it? Just how long would the stranger be away...etc.

And I kind of liked it that way.

I really liked everyone's performances..."Gear-ulls love secrets, Frankie." That little girl (Jayd Johnson) won my heart.

And...well...Gerard. God help me, I love everything he's in. Even the 30 seconds in Mrs. Brown.

Apparently, the fella who played Ally...such a warm performance with no dialogue!...is in Batman Begins. Another reason to see it!

Hey. New board.

I quite enjoyed The Company. Very little happens in it, but it's gorgeous. Plus, Neve Campbell is pretty. So is James Franco.

Another social casualty...

Netflix has Fosse. It's not a movie; it's a recording of the stage show. The dancing is just so good.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"So I just stand there?"

"No! You do an ecclectic celebration of dance!"

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

Tickybox!

Keep it all inside.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

"....but you keep it all inside."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The NY Times reviewer could have stopped his review after the second sentence:

The reasons to avoid "House of D," David Duchovny's earnest, unwatchable coming-of-age drama, can best be summarized in a simple declarative sentence. Robin Williams plays a retarded janitor.
