Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

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.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I thought Ewan was gunning for third place at your local bar's Alec Guinness Lookalike Contest.

I'm just wondering who taped a yorkie to Ewan's face for EpIII.

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

John Crichton.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I'm just wondering who taped a yorkie to Ewan's face for EpIII.

That's a job I actually wouldn't mind having. Besides putting me in such close proximity to Ewan's face, there would be puppies.

Okay, I'd line up for a movie that featured this with this.

If only.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

GAH, ita. Breaking me like that before I go to work is no fair.

Dreams further of job as "Yorkie Positioner for Mr. McGregor".

They wouldn't even have to pay me if I could just play with those concerned when they aren't working.

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

Liese, I'm pretty sure it was a Jatravartid

What do you mean there's a Michael Bay Movie I kind of what to see???

I've been asking myself that for MONTHS. The answer, it seems, is "Multiple wet Ewan MacGregors in a sci-fi dystopia, also with Djimon Hounsou and Scarlett Johannsen."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hee hee hee. From last week's Entertainment Weekly:

What does Natalie Portman think of George's ability to write romantic dialogue?
"I'll take the Fifth on that," says Portman. "It's fun stuff to work on, but it's not Shakespeare."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Liese, I'm pretty sure

Oh, ok. I'll go along with that.

Hey. New board.

I also really want to see The Island.

It's scary.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I saw an ad for The Island for the first time this morning, and had to god I thought it was a remake of Logan's Run until the title card came along. (I believe there is a remake of Logan's Run in the works, anyway, so the hot-iggerant-babes-dystopia genre seems to be having quite the revival.)

This morning I watched Strangers on a Train. How did I not know that the classic shot of "everybody in the audience look that way, except for the one creepy person in the middle who keeps looking at you" comes from this movie? How did I not know that the denouement involved a carousel gone berserk? If I had known, the movie would have been higher on the Netflix queue.

I'll say this for Hitchcock: his psychology may often have been overwrought cockamamie, but he knew how to come up with an interesting new visual.
