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 I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

The X3 suck train keeps right on rolling: alancumming.com reports that Fox hasn't picked up the option to include him in X3. No Nightcrawler.

hip deep in pie

Wasn't Alan Cumming really ambivalent about doing another X-men movie?

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

I can live without him. Signs are still negative for the movie as a whole, but he wasn't "my" Kurt.

Now tagless for your comfort.

tiggy, I clicked, I gushed.

Gary Olman rocked my world. As did Cillian Murphy. Beeauuutiful. And Michael Cain. Damn. I loved it all.

I didn't get a Serenity trailer though. *pout* However, I did get one for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and it gave me shivers. Of course it doesn't come out until freakin' DECEMBER.

I didn't get a Serenity preview either. I got Chronicles of Narnia, War of the Worlds, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I still haven't seen Batman Begins. (We went to see Howl's Moving Castle last night instead) Next weekend we're out of town, so it'll have to wait until 4th of July weekend.

Granted, we still haven't seen HHGTTG...

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I have yet to see Batman Begins, but I just saw Layer Cake. Excellent caper movie with all sorts of twistiness, and fantastic acting. Daniel Craig looks eerily like Steve McQueen.

Unfortunately, this film completely ruined Duran Duran's "Ordinary World" for me in a way that Reservoir Dogs apparently ruined "Stuck in the Middle" for a lot of people.

Plus, Colm Meany! Good stuff all around.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Consuela and I saw the Batman. No Serenity trailer, and we both liked it, but didn't love it. Neither of us could figure out why it didn't grab us as much as it did others, other than neither of us are really superhero fans, plus it seemed predictable to me.
