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.

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.
OMG Shining clip awesome.
This is why trailers can be the coolest thing ever.

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.

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

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.

This could have been it. There are some sound systems out there that are in really sorry shape.

The sound was fine in my theatre, Gandalfe.

Yes -- they've got the exact same eyes. And her character being named Helena didn't help that cognitive dissonance one bit.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I forgot to mention, we got a Mirrormask poster at our showing. (Free with large popcorn and large drink.) It's already up in Emmett's room.
