I just watched The Deep End, and yeah, go Tilda Swinton, and yeah, go moral ambiguity, and yeah, beautifully shot, but it still left me disappointed. I was expecting a bit more punch, but instead the plot kind of...fizzled out.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, Fantastic Four? Really not so good. It had its moments, but took sooooo looooong getting to them. Batman can take a while going through the how-he-got-there part. These guys? Went to space. And came back. There was no need for that to take an hour.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Friends don't take friends to see F4.

Pfft. You're gonna go.

Seeing it for free was fine. I wouldn't pay $10.

But I'm not taking anyone.

You're taking yourself. You wouldn't inflict it on a friend, but you will (a) financially support it and (b) subjugate yourself to it.

The idea that I'll do things to myself that I wouldn't do to a friend, is news to you? Where have you been?
So far, I intend to financially support Batman Begins while I'm seeing F4, but I haven't planned it out in detail yet.
