Junior Bonner's not so much a Western as a quiet little character study about an aging rodeo star.
Man, just ascend already.

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.

Oh fuck. That was so Jason Schartzmann's gig.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In a disturbing revelation, Wallace & Gromit creator Nick Park told SCI FI Wire that his lovable, expressive dog Gromit was initially supposed to be a cat. "He was going to be a cat at first, and then when I was molding him, I found out it was simply easier to make a dog," said Park, who created the Academy Award-winning stop-motion-animated duo of a cheese-loving Englishman and his brilliant dog. "They became a couple, like an elderly husband and wife, and Gromit is the long-suffering wife, always rolling his eyes."
Even more disturbing, when Park decided to make Gromit a dog, he first gave him a voice. "I had Gromit with a Scooby-Doo kind of voice, a bit gravelly," Park said. "In the drawings he always had a mouth."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I know Mirrormask is in obscenely limited release right now, but anyone who can go see it should -- it's absolutely enchanting and becautiful and wonderful and OMG the library scene made me want to stand up in the theatre and cheer. The girl playing the main character is excellent too -- if Gaiman ever gets High Cost of Living off the ground, she'd make a fantastic Death.

Hey. New board.

Because books.
That was brilliant. Especially when you know that the closeup of Jack kissing the woman is not Wendy, but the rotting corpse in the Ultra!Scary Room.

Yeah, that was total bibliophilia porn - perfect for Buffistas.

She was fantastic, and yeah - she could definitely do Death.

My only complaint with it can be resolved here: Was the sound off for you? 'Cause 1/2 the time I couldn't hear what they were saying, but that may have been the shitty theater I was at, that hasn't updated anything besides the marquee since 1972. And it's changed hands about 12 times since then.

I did have to wonder when Helena Bonham Carter managed to find time to clone herself.
