Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That's a good distraction on an afternoon like this.
"The Village"
To call it an anticlimax would be an insult not only to climaxes but to prefixes.

Hey. New board.
Heh. The only movie in there that I actually like is "The Usual Suspects," and I absolutely love that one. I also don't hate "Tommy Boy" - it's not allowed, as a male member of my generation.
Not bad, Ebert. Not bad.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We're watching Constantine.
This is a terrible movie.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
See, I thought it was a movie that could have been fixed by changing a few simple things.
The first one, of course, being the casting of the title character.

Does this bear any resemblance to the comic? I mean, the story. I know how much they messed with Constantine himself, but is the story's incoherence because they fucked with a comic, or because it was written by inane Hollywood committee?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I saw "Sorority Boys" on opening day, and still have at least one poster.
Oh, MR, your sexy sexy self did have me in thrall for a while there.

"Caligula" is sickening, utterly worthless, shameful trash. If it is not the worst film I have ever seen, that makes it all the more shameful: People with talent allowed themselves to participate in this travesty. Disgusted and unspeakably depressed, I walked out of the film after two hours of its 170-minute length.
I think this means he missed the horse fisting.

The first one, of course, being the casting of the title character.
I think they used up all their casting mojo on getting Djimon Hounsou and Tilda Swinton.
I've heard people praising Peter Stormaire's performance, but I thought he was horribly miscast. Rossdale would have actually been a better choice for his role. (Though of course, competing with John Glover's and Viggo Mortensen's portrayals is never easy.)

Ain't that the truth? Tilda Swinton was fantastic.

At least he got a good meal from all that scenery he chewed.
