'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've been calling it Panic Plane because of the Jodie Foster-kid-small space angle. It looks like it could be decent, but I hace zero interest.

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

It's one of those movies I'll mean to see, and not get around to. Hell, the idea that Sean Bean might play a good guy is very enticing.

So this is the Mark Ruffalo all y'all are talking about: [link] ?

I would never, in a million years, recognize him, even if he came up to me and said "Hi, I'm Mark Ruffalo, the actor who your invisible friends like." He just looks like Some Dude.

I have gotten better at being able to recognize Clive Owen, now that I've seen Sin City. (Was it Clive Owen? Or Colin Firth? Shit. Why won't my brain sort these men into their proper categories?)

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

Colin Firth -- Pride and Prejudice, curly hair, keeps doing irritating romantic comedies. Has reached that stage on film where he may play a dad, but a dad who wears leather pants (it was some Disney production).

Clive Owen -- Sin City, straight hair, does not look the type for a romantic comedy. Close to the same age as the other guy, but has never to my knowledge played a dad.

Okay, I have Clive Owen fixed in my mind. Sin City, kicks ass.

Colin Firth -- can't picture him, but I know he wasn't in Sin City.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Firth is in that new movie with Kevin Bacon that was slapped with an NC-17 rating for a threesome they have with the female lead.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Hollywood is doing a movie with a guy-girl-guy threesome played out by name actors? This does not reassure me that the recent disasters are merely coincidence and not signs of the world ending...

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

Teppy, rent In the Cut. It's not a great movie, but Ruffalo is intensely hot in it. Even with a goofy mustache. He's great in You Can Count on Me as well.

He's just a really good actor and worth getting to know so you can watch out for him.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Teppy, Ruffalo was Elijah's buddy in Eternal Sunshine, too.
