I thought so too, Vonnie.

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.

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

I think The Constant Gardener looks good too.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Yeah. Fiennes, back in Africa, all covered in dust and torment. Yumm.
Signed, still loves The English Patient to bits, despite the backlash.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It looks a little close to a sensitive First Worlder cliché to me. I'm thinking I'll try and find the book first.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I hadn't seen it since college, and remember being impressed with the way the film makes the romance and the sexual tension real between the "old" leads.
Also one of the most agonizing sword fights I've ever seen. Every move looked like it took monumental effort.

I ADORE that final swordfight.

It just looks so painful. Granted that is one movie that's not afraid to bring the pain.

Painful and tiring and all kinds of real stuff. It's wonderful that way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Do they look their natural ages?
Honestly, I don't know what all their natural ages are. But they don't look artificially youthful to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know jack about Frances, Tilda or Julie, have read rumours about Jessica (there have been some AWFUL pictures of her recently) and Sharon (who, by intelligent design or artificial intervention doesn't look like mid 40s).
It's a strange stance to take right there, about that cast. I mean, the general point is true, but there are clearer examples.
