Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Damn. Why can't I dislike him like I want to?

Because he left that Affleck fellow behind and became a better actor.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

They plump up okay.

That first one is a bit of...artistic license. See, e.g., [link]

That's the corsetry. The girl is Flatty McFlatchested.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's the corsetry.

I'm assuming that they have costumers for this piece too, although I'm not sure if they care.

That first one is a bit of...artistic license.

Unless they pulled an anti-Herbie on her in the movie, it's nothing they can't do for another one.

She doesn't really have to be large chested to look it in the movies.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

ita, I think you have more faith in what a corset can do for a B-cup than I do. I was watching Sense and Sensibility the other day, and it was really obvious who had the luscious mams and who was whipping out the duct tape to pretend same.

(There was also Emma Thompson, not particularly busty at all and not trying to look it either, but the whole point of Eleanor is that you're supposed to look at the little worry lines around her mouth.)

Why can't I dislike him like I want to?

Um, he's a smoker and a skin-cancer case waiting to happen. He is short. He has been in need of an extra cheeseburger since about 2001.

Trying to help you out with reasons, here.

They changed her skin tone and even flattened her belly (!). WTF?

No, it looks like someone drew a black line down her ribcage to create that picture.

Cutlets, corsets, whatever. I don't really agree with you about the empire dresses looking like crap without above average sized breasts, but it's nowhere near impossible to fake it, if they feel the need.

Which is relevant in what way to being able to fake it for the P&P movie, should they care to?

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

After Project Greenlight I'm okay with liking Matt.

Some cool movie things off cable recently...

1. September is Michael Powell month on TCM. Set your Tivos folks - 9 movies will be shown. Will they show Black Narcisssus, I Know Where I'm Going, Peeping Tom, Colonel Blimp? I guess I should check the actual schedule.

2. Really enjoyed the Midnight Movies documentary I snagged recently off either IFC or Sundance. Long 20 minute overviews of the key films in the development of Midnight Movie culture: El Topo, Night of the Living Dead, Pink Flamingos, Rocky Horror and Eraserhead.

3. Also really enjoyed the Joan Crawford documentary off TCM they showed recently (though I think they did it in 2002). She had such a fascinating career that spanned from the silents all the way to working with Spielberg on Night Gallery. There's really no other actor who had major works in ever decade of the Hollywood Studio Era from the 20 all the way through to the Sixties. And she's so cute in those flapper movies.

4. Also the new Logo cable channel has been showing a lot of cool movies and TV shows, so seek it out.
