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.

Not only that, but neither Affleck or Damon have ever claimed that their upbringing was remotely like Good Will Hunting. They've always acknowledged they were Cambridge brats.
Exactly. GWH is a fantasy of Southie life, not a documentary. (Also, I don't think I knew Jesse went to high school with MattnBen.)
I think Eminem is that angry, but not that scary and is balancing a fair degree of self-awareness with a lack of internal censorship and some impulse control issues.
I get that impression too. I think he channels most of his anger into his songwriting, and exaggerates even there. (Though I do think he has issues with The Ex, and probably women in general.) Everything I've read about him offstage in the last few years makes it sounds like he's a reasonably together being now, even if he wasn't in 1998.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is he still as homophobic (in his lyrics and/or in real life)?
He did a duet with Elton John, right?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
His last album was pretty jokingly referential to his image as a possible homophobic closet case, so whatever his personal feelings may be he's at least willing to have fun with it via his musical persona.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Anyone else seen Dig!, the documentary about the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre?
Dug it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We have Ray, Finding Neverland, and Sideways coming today.

Always Anti-fascist!
I've seen two, not "Sideways" yet.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Sideways is out on DVD? Whoo!
EW says that Timothy Dalton/Zelda Clarke version of Jane Eyre is coming out on DVD (sans extras, alas), which for my money is the best adaptation of the book out there, for all its cheap production values and Dalton being way too pretty to be Rochester. Clarke is very good, and Dalton is a champion brooder. I'd forgotten that the damn thing is 5 hours long though. Hmmm.
It's really too bad that nobody filmed JE with Alan Rickman as Rochester, because he's got the charismatic and sexy ugliness and the explosive intensity of the character down cold.
