I know you (and Jessica, I think) kept telling me I needed to see it, but it kept getting put off and put off. I was prepared for a good movie, but I still wound up dazzled and delighted.
Don't I get a cookie?

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.

Yep. Jessica saw it first, and told me I HAD TO GO SEE IT RIGHT NOW. And she was right.

I adored Stage Beauty. I bought the DVD the day it came out. Gorgeous, gorgeous movie.

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.
I think my favorite Cusack movie is Grosse Point Blank.
Yes, this. Though for some reason I don't have it on DVD yet. Probably because for awhile there I could find it playing on some channel or another any given weekend.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I am always right. It's a thing.
(FWIW, and unrelated to the above, I found Stage Beauty unwatchable. The performances just grated.)

Susan Sarandon and Kevin Costner in BULL DURHAM is one of my favorite couples.
That's *serious* chemistry, right there.
Also, Hepburn/Tracy.

Cary Grant/Irene Dunne in The Awful Truth. I think they even top Nick and Nora Charles for the most witty/glamorous couple ever (at least for me).

Hey. New board.
I haven't seen many movies where the chemistry really stood out to me. But Vanilla Sky is the only movie I've ever bought while thinking "Hmm. This movie isn't very good, really, but the couple's chemistry is ridiculous. Worth $9."
Tom/Penelope was HAWT.
I also liked Ethan Hawke and That Woman in Before Sunrise, though I have not seen Before Sunset or whatever the sequel was.
Oh, and I, too, am a sucker for the Ewan/Nicole in Moulin Rouge. And the Jim Carrey/Kate Winslet chemistry is fantastic in about one out of every three scenes in Eternal Sunshine. Better than Kate/Leo at least.
I also like the anti-chemical chemistry of Gwyneth and Luke Wilson in The Royal Tenenbaums.
My favorite John Cusack movie is High Fidelity, which I love and love and love, with Grosse Pointe Blank a close second - it gets two loves, but not three.
In a bit less than three hours, I will see Robots: The IMAX Experience at the Loews in Lincoln Center. I'm excited. I saw HP: POA there and adored it even more than on a normal-sized screen. And the pictures from Robots look GORGEOUS (I like the look of Blue Sky Studio's CG rendering process a bit more than Pixar's, though their storylines are not nearly as... incredible. Heh. Get it?) which will make the IMAX thing even awesomer.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I love the IMAX theater. There is no way for you not to feel like you're in the film, although at times it's almost too much for my mind to handle and I get a headache.
