Has anyone seen "The Final Cut"? I'd never heard of it until I saw it on Netflix, and Rotten Tomatoes is mixed. Plus, there is Robin Williams. I feel like someone here mentioned it...Jessica? Scrappy?
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I watched it recently. Quite good, very cool SF idea, downer ending.

"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
Then I saw The Muppets' Wizard of Oz on TV, and it was surprisingly brilliant. Very funny and clever.
Not so surprising. Scott Johnson (the "Smile Time" puppet manager) told me he might be working on it last April, so that's some pretty good Muppeteering talent behind the scenes.
I couldn't be that critical of NP in Closer since I thought JR was pointlessly blank. She was ranking below OB on the emotimeter.
The one saving grace was that her character was so relentlessly grim that she never did that thing where she leans back and laughs with the top of her head swivelling backwards like a pez dispenser.

I may have a year ago - Stephanie Romanov is a costar.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
No, you really aren't. I liked the movie enough to by the dvd (at least when it was on sale), but I abhor that scene.
Right on! (I mean, you still SUCK, but marginally less so, now.)

You can... get a fliptop head, or you can use Reach. Clearly, Julia isn't a fan of Reach.
Is it just me, or has the wild Summer Movie Extravaganza (which has started, in the past, as early as May 1) been kind of subdued? Except for the George Lucas Behemoth, there's been so little, even in advertising.
Is it just that my approaching-30 filters have deleted all mention of 100,000 crap movies from my memory? Am I watching the wrong TV channels? For the life of me, Batman Begins and the Adam Sandler movie opening this week are the only two summer movies I can name at all, and the latter I can't actually name; there was something about it on ESPN yesterday evening.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
Last Saturday's new Doctor Who had a spectacularly creepy kid. Winsome and blond. In a gas mask.
I agree. Wonderful episode, it made me ant to do something I call the Gasmask Orphans. Cronenberg meets (or meats if you want) Oliver Twist.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've seen lots of Batman Begins onscreen -- billboards are that too, plus The Honeymooners and Mr & Mrs Smith.
I get my movie news from the Internets, or from the sides of buses these days.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I've got a list of movie releases synched to my Treo. I see nine movies being released on Friday (some are limited release, though).

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Oh, I guess I have seen ads for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. That one is a definite "filtered out to protect my brain" type of thing. Didn't know about The Honeymooners, though.
I swear, I haven't seen a single bus- or train-poster all spring long. Whereas, Troy, last year, had Vapid Serious Face (plus flowing locks) all over everything that moved.
