Heh. Lethem's Bramble...will have to share with my friend, Lethem pimp and Buffy fan. I love him for "Fortress of Solitude" most especially cause he created a funk band named the "Subtle Distinctions".
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
LiT is a movie that hit me so hard I can hardly bear to hear people say anything bad about it.
Jess and Sean and Tep and JohnSweden are all me. Whodathunk?
Though ita's reaction to LiT was almost my exact reaction to ESotSM.
I can't think of any movie I've grown into, but I can think of a lot I think I've grown away from. (Maybe grown out of, who knows.) Like, I fear, everything Hal Hartley ever made. I went through a major, major Hartley period. I don't know why the love is now gone. Oh, and Sirens wasn't as nifty last time, despite the continued delight that is Naked Portia De Rossi.

Ah, me too. With a healthy dose of "Look! Jim Carrey is Acting! Watch how he Acts for us all! Act, Jim, Act!"

Snerf. That, too.
There was also a side of, "Damn, Kate. You look like Jessica!" which distracted me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
LiT just leaves me feeling that I Don't Get It. And that that's my fault and not the movie's, because Oscar and other people like it a whole lot and I just need to concentrate more, or something. But that happens to me a lot.

Y'know that scene in Velvet Goldmine where Arthur is looking at the TV, and pictures himself saying, "That's me! That's me, ma!" as he watches the boys go all boy on boy?
That's my reaction to LiT.
As opposed to my reaction to VG, which is more along the lines of, "Yum." and, "More, please."
I mean, it's pretty much THE All Naked All Gay musical with glitter.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Too bad Ewan and Christian and Jonathan were all so damned ugly and undesirable.

Speaking of Ewan, what did I just get delivered to me today???
The Pillow Book on DVD. Yum.

I had a funny line about Memento, but I forgot it.
Part of being a script supervisor is tracking continuity for the project you're working on. Part of doing that is taking polaroids of everything so you remember where all the props were and stuff.
On the shoot I worked last week, I couldn't control myself. I had to take one extra picture of our lead, just to write "TEDDY" on the front and "DON'T BELIEVE HIS LIES" crossed out with "HE IS THE ONE, KILL HIM" underneath it.
And no, having too much time on one's hands is never a problem a script supervisor ever runs in to.
There was also a side of, "Damn, Kate. You look like Jessica!" which distracted me.
Every time I see a picture of Kate from that movie, I first think it's Jess.

And speaking of Bale, Empire of the Sun arrived yesterday.
I have to remind myself that I'm allowed to watch it and not feel squicked or ooked at his extreme youth on account of him being, oh, my age. Mostly, I've just been remembering how much I love that movie, and wanting to watch it again. Just have to remember to wait a week or two before watching Velvet Goldmine again this time.
