Yeah, there were five, and I had never heard of three of them, so I'm calling it 50/50 at this point.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I trust Empire more than either the Hollywood Reporter or Variety, so I'd say it looks pretty hopeful.
[eta: Empire liked Mr and Mrs Smith too.]

The beach ball? Yeah.
You know, I couldn't contribute to the Donnie Darko discussion because it's sitting on my shelf of To Watch. We've been putting off watching it because the DH wanted to get the one with the extra 26 minutes or whatever added back in. So I asked tonight, after having read Buffista commentary on DD, what those extra minutes were, and he tells me its the physics about the black hole/singularity thing.
Which is a key part of the science fiction game that I asked for the movie references for.
So does that count as a plate of shrimp?
(Probably not, but I'm tired)

Hey. New board.
The funny thing is that all of Zach's student films (that I saw) were show-not-tell, almost to a fault -- gorgeous pacing and composition, very very very sparse writing.
I believe this, because I believe the first 80 minutes are fantastic show-not-tell. That's why it's annoying when he decides to monologue the points home that he's already made so clear in the last two big scenes.
Now, crossing my fingers for BB.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am randomly earwormed with the song "Suddenly" from Xanadu.
I need to find that movie. Gene Kelly on roller skates? What's not to love?!?

The GF and I bought a copy of Xanadu a couple of years ago and it's far worse than we remembered. We didn't even watch the whole thing. It was quite a disappointment.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
That happened to me when I found a copy of "License to Drive." Just not as funny when you aren't 14.

That's what I'm afraid of, GC. I know I've watched Xanadu a billion times, but all when I was much younger. I can't remember much about it, except Gene Kelly, how much the guy looks like a Gibb brother, the music that randomly pops into my head that I know all the lyrics to, and a strange sequence pitting modern (read: 80's) musicians against a swing band in some kind of band-off.
And I just read on the IMDB boards (scary, scary place) that someone thinks David Thewlis is in the band sequence. In one of the bands. This thought somehow makes me sad.
Until I think of David Thewlis as a glam rocker. Then I'm thinking of something else entirely. t in bunk

And... glam David Thewlis killed the thread.
