It's all Orlando all the time, isn't it?
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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.

I'm getting the pig!
In a perfect (for me) world? Yes.
A world of yes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A quirky girl without a bra teaches him to live. A quirky girl without a bra teaches him to love. A quirky girl without a bra teaches him to wear cotton knit.
Still, the curiosity factor and the male pretty will get me there.

Well, all that and traveling across country with his father's ashes.

That part I don't hate. The quirky girl, OTOH, needs to be sporked.

move out and draw fire
Ben Stiller once described Owen Wilson as having "a library in his head," and hearing his Rushmore commentary bears that out. He calls Max Fisher a "James Gatz" figure, which is the kind of Great Gatsby reference dropped by people who have actually spent time with the book.
Heh - I copied this and sent it to my step-mom, who had Mr. Wilson in her English class lo these many years ago.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
This LJ piece [link] is a very long explictoration [sic] of the Willy Wonka movie. Reminds me of the kind of analysis I used to eat up about Buffy. Search on the word "children" to get to it, it starts in the middle.

"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
Orlando's Elizabethtown accent is just a touch better than Hugh Jackman's X-Men accent. This was all I could think about while I watched. I'm like the guy you take into your parlor to see how well you decorated it who's looking for the wallpaper seams.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
A few weeks ago I watched Bride and Prejudice and had to do a double take when I heard Naveen Andrews speaking because he sounded exactly like Orlando Bloom in LOTR.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

What did you think of it? I thought it was OK. Whatshername (Aishwarya Rai) is really not an actress. Yes, I agree, she is absolutely gorgeous, but she seems to have only 3 expressions - coy seductive, peeved seductive, and blank. Which I guess is 1 more than most Hollywood starlets, so, yeah for that. Also, the main guy (Martin Henderson) should have been played by a Wilson.
