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.

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

Given the current track record for adapting Alan Moore comics to film, I can't say I'm too upset.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Make no mistake, as emperor, Palpatine is a dictator--but a relatively benign one, like Pinochet.

Well, any credibility the author might have had with me just went out the window when he called Augusto Pinochet "relatively benign." Because that's....well, that's fucking insane.

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

V For Vendetta could tip the scale.

Extremely mixed review (spoilery) of THE INSIDE from The New Yorker: [link]

There are also seriously negative reviews of BATMAN BEGINS and MR. AND MRS. SMITH, but Denby's always been a bit of a prig: [link]

Well it's the Weekly Standard, which makes the National Review look like the Village Voice.
