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.
When you rent it, make sure you get the version titled "Leon" instead, for the extra-disturbing extra 20 minutes.
I still need to see those minutes!
Oh, and for all you Bollywood fans, the ripoff of The Professional is called Bichhoo. The Mathilda character is ten years older so the relationship can be all wholesome and normal.
Woohoo new tag!
Now I clean my room and watch more My So-Called Life. Don't know why I'm telling the movies thread this.
I think Kidman wins the award for Most Attractive Consumptive. Second only going to Kate Winslet in Finding Neverland.
In other news, I watched Godsend yesterday. Am I the only one who thinks the Creepy Kid/Young Adult trope is getting done to death?
I hate the Creepy Kid trope too much to be able to tell when it is being overused.
Kids are some scary fucks, though.
Add power or knowledge to their coveted youth, and they're everyone's nightmare.
I love creepy kids. Cuz they're creepy. I'm gonna see Dark Water because I love creepy kids. And Jennifer Connelly. And suffering.
What about Greta Garbo in Camille? That's one gorjuss consumptive.
If you want a REALLY creepy kid, try watching the original Bad Seed.
Fulminating TB is well known to bring a mighty dumptruck of beauty to the doorstep.
