Actually, he did, Jones just wasn't listed in the end credits.
Huh. I didn't think it sounded like him.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The Barbra Streisand-Kris Kristofferson version of A Star Is Born. She can sing. He tries to sing material that doesn't really suit his voice. They establish sexual magnetism better than love.
Other than that, it's two-plus hours of Barbra vs. Kris fighting over who can sport the lowest neckline. Kris wins, because the MPAA lets him go shirtless more often without prohibitive rating problems.

Mysterious Skin: Araki is hit or miss but this one sounds good. Also, Michelle Trachtenberg!
And Joseph Gordon Levitt!
I'd never seen the movie before, so the way the ending played out was a complete surprise. I don't think that a modern Hollywood studio would have let things play out like they did back then.
Which is really a shame. Bridge on the River Kwai has one of my all-time favorite endings.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Bridge on the River Kwai has one of my all-time favorite endings.
It really was good. I have yet to put my finger on why I found the ending so satisfying, but I did.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Huh. I didn't think it sounded like him.
That's because he was still whining like Anakin instead of being cool and collected like the Vader we know.

I'm sure part of the satisfaction is from just how UN-Hollywood it is.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Saw the European release of Brazil at one of our art-house theatres last night. Midnight showing, and my first time seeing it. Still full of the "huh" and brain-overflowiness of it all.

Because it was right, rather than constructed for an audience.
My weekend movie: Apocalypse Now, Redux. That is one helluva movie, there. And it really didn't feel 3+ hours long. There was only one added-back-in scene that I didn't think was needed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
There was only one added-back-in scene that I didn't think was needed.
Was it the random plantation scene with the worst dialogue in the movie? -- "Don't you like brandy?" "No, I like brandy, I just don't want any right now."

Actually, I kind of liked that scene, at least up until it was just Sheen and the chick. I liked the French patriarch driving everyone away from his table, and the feeling that this happened every night. It didn't necessarily move the story along, but it paced Sheen's journey out, and added a bit of political commentary.
No, it was the playmates-for-fuel scene. I didn't think it did much for the movie at all, really. And I probably would've left out Laurence (or I guess, Larry ) Fishburne's speech about Arvin getting shot.
(edited to spell "Laurence" correctly, so I'm talking about the right guy)
