OMG! Thank you for warning me askye, now my decision to pass on this movie has been completely justified!

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 don't know if it's possible that you could dislike Ferrell more than I do -- I can't even look at posters without wincing. But it's a tiny role, and easy to get past.
If I hear any hint that he's going to reprise that peeing-on-himself schtick onstage, I'm going to buy a front row ticket and bring jumper cables. I'll plead Poetic Justice at my trial.
I already posted a variation of this in my LJ, but I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this weekend. While there were a lot of good things about the movie, the musical scenes with the Oompa Lompas kind of ruined it for me, because I kept thinking "It's The Apple , but with really really short people/person".
I blame Jessica for this, of course.

Blah -- Holmes in the next Batman? Whyever?
ita -- I heard a rumor: death of Katie's character by the Joker.
I heard a rumor: death of Katie's character by the Joker.
Thus sending Bats on a deadly spiral of rage and vengence. Until he realizes that he doesn't care all that much, but figures he has to deal with the Joker anyway, what with the whole Protector of Gotham thing.
And they've conceived this as a way to make the Joker an unsympathetic antagonist that the audience will want Batman to stop?
I saw The Aristocrats this weekend. Oh my god, I just about cried laughing in parts of it, and squirmed uncomfortably in others. It lived right up to my expectations.
Who knew Bob Saget would make me laugh the hardest in the whole movie?
