Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

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 look more rad than Lutheranism

Thanks again for letting us know the movie was on. I was feeling miserable tonight, and now I am much better.

Isn't it funny how HUGE the computer is? I kept looking over at my laptop and giggling.

Isn't it funny how HUGE the computer is?

I know! I keep thinking of Emmy as an early form a google. Especially when they get tons of information that isn't what they need. Imagine if everything had to print out everytime you did a google search?

Ann, that's a ferret.

One reason I could think of would be to make it smoother. Take a large book and made large and judicious cuts and what you get is a script with lots of noticeable stitchmarks.

Classic example -- Greta Garbo, Love. Imagine an 80-minute version of Anna Karenina. And that 80 minutes includes both endings (yes, the studio made an alternate happy ending for U.S. audiences).

Not a bad movie on its own, but strictly limited to the Anna-Vronsky story.

Salon has a review of The Corpse Bride. I expect there's a spoiler or two lurking in it: [link]

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

That's quite the rave review. I expect Jilli will see it about 6 times in the theater.

So, Corpse Bride opens 9/23 in SF. Serenity and Mirrormask 9/30. Wallace & Gromit on 10/7.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

That's quite the rave review.

Eeeeeeeee! Oh, I can't wait.

I expect Jilli will see it about 6 times in the theater.

Probably. I saw Nightmare Before Christmas something like 8 or 10 times.
