I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something that makes me think that Jilli is going to enjoy this movie.
She growls?! You made her so she growls?!

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
This comic combines two recent topics of conversation: Batman and zombies. Enjoy.

Mirrormask looks creee--py. In a good way. Does Dave McKean do Gaiman's book covers?
ETA: What's the music in the trailer? Anyone know?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

McKean and Gaiman have been working together forever, on Sandman and assorted other titles. McKean also did the illustrations for Coraline, Wolves in the Walls and The Day I swapped my Dad For Two Goldfish.

I assumed so. The movie looks just like the art on everything Gaiman.

Does Dave McKean do Gaiman's book covers?
Run, don't walk, and get a copy of Dave McKean's Cages. About 450 pages of super-wonderful stuff.

"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
Speaking of Neil, anyone want to read the script treatment for "Sandman" written nine years ago?
Roger Avary, who co-wrote the new Beowulf with Neil after this, was set to direct. The script's an amusing read for a while but starts to get bad fast. It's a collage of bits from the first four Sandman collections, with much of the dialogue quoted verbatim. The overall story is interestingly-adapted (I'd have said well-adapted but for the dropoff in quality in the third act) but the actual working parts need more than a polish to function properly. Mostly it feels like the writers just really wanted to incorporate as much of the Sandman 'verse as possible, without concern for whether it was useful for the story to do so. Very glad this script didn't get filmed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I finally watched Infernal Affairs.
Damn, that was lovely stuff.

Art Crawl!!!
I think it's funny that the "Why are the Brits always villains?" conversation is happening on the 4th of July.
Ummm, should I be ashamed to admit I saw Bats again? Also, interestingly the theatre was pretty full and on a Sunday afternoon.
I'm very very happy that Plei FINALLY got to see it.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Cable, which is not free, has no commercials.
Unless it's Australian pay-tv. To get a decent package you'd pay close to $100 a month, then you have to put up with commercials. Not sure if it is on every channel but I know there are some that show regular commercials the same as free-to-air.
