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.

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

How irritating -- they say Comingsoon.net has PotC2 pics, but comingsoon doesn't seem to know about it.

you don't find it obvious when small breasts are pretended to be larger?

Not when it's done well, no. I've been surprised before, and I'm sure it'll happen again. I'm not even an expert in how my own breasts look, much less the rest of the gender. Hell, I'm still impressed by these.

I may live in LA, but I'm still a island girl, I guess.

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

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

Because you can create boobs in photoshop better than you can for an entire film. Those poster C+s don't look like these: [link]

And those look bigger than she does in the Arthur movie.

My point, however, I think is better served by an instance in which the filmmakers really cared -- or is the tale that Lohan's breasts were reduced in every frame of Herbie an urban legend?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Matt Damon's accent sounds pretty good. Damn. Why can't I dislike him like I want to?

Because he's cute and snarky and has hella dimples and kicked all kinds of ass in the Bourne movies. Mmmm, lickable.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And no matter what, you can see yourself as that forever, despite the changes you(or nature) have given your appearance.

As Stephen King pointed out very effectively in Christine.

She looked quite different when she was young (and suffered some really egregious hairdos later in life).

Plus, she and the gorgeous Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., were one of the first celebrity supercouples. (Maybe even the second, after Douglas, Sr., and Mary Pickford.)

Oh, I've been operating on the assumption that it's legend.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

September is Michael Powell month on TCM.

They better show A Matter of Life and Death. It's the only P&P I'm dying to own that's not out on region 1 DVD yet. I shall record it in Best Quality and never delete it from my TiVo. Yessss, Precioussss!

(Actually, it's been, like 4-5 years since I last watched that movie and I'm a little afraid that I might not love it as much on re-watch.)

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

I have seen arguments both ways, and have no interest in watching the movie and honing an opinion. Anyway, between costuming and CGI, the technology exists, even if the desire doesn't.

I don't see the point, myself.

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

Also, when my friend worked backstage at a celebrity fashion show for Newman's charity, Damon not only had absolutely no temperament, butwhen he heard as he was leaving that they were selling all the clothes worn that day on ebay, asked "would this help?" and peeled off his own cashmere sweater and donated it. He went home in a t-shirt on a crisp November day.

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

She looked quite different when she was young (and suffered some really egregious hairdos later in life).

Charles Busch commented on the fascinating grotesquery of her later looks. She became sort of a gargoyle Crawford. And she was a gorgeous woman.
