Hey, Erin, have you seen Skin Deep LA? If it's any consolation, it's no longer being updated.

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.

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

Just got back from watching Episode III.
That was twice the movie I was expecting. Holy crap.
The final verdict, of course, is how it stands up as its place in the six-ogy (not a word, but hey, it's 4am here, cut me some slack), but as its own movie? So. Very. Good. I even felt bad for Victim!Anakin. The Emperor is such a bastard. His death in Jedi is so much more of an act of justice now.
Such a happy fangirl am I.

Art Crawl!!!
From this article in the Boston Herald about The History of Violence:
Cronenberg, who engaged in a Euro-style lip-lock with his leading man in front of the paparazzi, said ``sex and violence'' are natural partners.
It's just a habit with Viggo, isn't it?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So. Very. Good.
I AM NOT ALONE!!!
weeps for joy
(I am so angry at Lucas for making eps 1 and 2 suck as much as they did. The complete suckitude of those two films makes it nearly impossible to say how good 3 was and be taken seriously. Because, really, what reason do people have not to be expecting a crapfest of epic proportions? Bastard.)

move out and draw fire
Why did he even make them if he didn't have any story to put in them? I mean really. If he knew all the story was going into 3, why not just go with it. Call "Clone Wars" Ep 2 and leave Ep 1 open for when he gets a good idea not involving a child actor.
The poster for Monster-in-Law, at least the one they are using here, really sucks.
Watched PotC last night, again, and noticed Orlando's Fellowship tattoo in the blacksmithy duel. Did we know you could see it?

Ep. 1 could have been about stuff from Anakin's parents life, couldn't it?
Oh well.
EW has a fun Cannes blog.

Jessica, my sistah. The movie was totally awesome! First off, best opening sequence of a SW movie EVAR. There was chemistry between Anakin and Padme, warped though it may have been! There was Yoda being a complete and utter badass! I actually felt bad for Anakin that he turned to the Dark Side! And of course, OMGWTF LAVA!!
Don't get me wrong, Lucas has done some stupid things. But this is the SW movie we've been waiting for.
tries to contain fangirlish glee... totally failing
apologizes for the total abuse of whitefont

Monster-in-Law pisses me off so badly. Way to keep those "catty bitch" female stereotypes going strong, ladies.

I think Fonda's character is totally justified, from the trailers. I doubt she gets to kill the Lo, though.
