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.

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

Thanks!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I liked Cinderalla Man a lot. It's old-fashioned, but the acting is impeccable.

Hey. New board.

*Nods* That's about what I hear. If it's your kind of flick, it's really good at being your kind of flick.

Personally, I dislike all three of the main elements (RC, RZ, and period boxing) and so am unlikely to see it. But it's a personal issue, nothing against the movie itself.

Sounds like something I'll watch on a boring weekend on TNT.

I finally saw Mean Girls. It was pretty good, funny. I didn't realize I'd seen Lizzy Caplan (Janis) in Freaks and Geeks, Smallville, and Tru Calling before this. They were all the same person!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I don't think I'm seeing fewer movies now compared to five or ten years ago. But the way I'm chosing the movies has changed a lot. Before I'd see movies that were related to a fandom I liked (various Batman incarnations) or that starred an actor that I liked. But sometime in the past 5 or so years I discovered directors who consistantly made movies that interested me. And I also started learning more about movies online. If Bewitched had come out five years ago I might have seen it. Not now. On the other hand, 10 years ago I might have completely missed out on Stage Beauty. Now I've seen the movie in the theater and bought the dvd.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I got to meet Peter Reigert and see his movie "King of the Corner". He's promoting it himself, going around the country, theater by theater.

It's a nice quiet movie with a killer cast. I highly recommend it. Has anyone else seen it?

Nothing like being forced to watch commercials without the recourse of changing the channel or hitting mute.

Really, those commercials are so, so galling. Especially if you go to the movies with someone and you used to be able to chat with them before the show, but now you have to watch this loud blaring crap while you sit in silence.

I used to see about two movies a month. Now, do to lack of funds (I know that prices haven't risen that much in the last few years, but since salaries haven't either, $10 is a pretty hefty amount. Especially when there's netflix and I can rent 10 movies for $1.80 each per month), lack of movies which appeal to me, and those goddamn commercials I go about once every three months.

I do still love going to the movies, though, because it's so much more fun for me to see a film with an audience. This may sound weird, but even the small annoyances like cell phones ringing or people talking, I find kind of charming. I like having this shared experience in the dark with a bunch of strangers (hopefully that doesn't sound too dirty).
