'Not Fade Away'


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.

That still really makes it look like he's going to attempt to nurse with his manboobs.

Plei is me on that point.

hip deep in pie

It played at the film festival here, but I missed it. I heard it reviewed somewhere as not bad, but not great either.

move out and draw fire

We watched the worst Hammer film I've ever seen last night, and one of the actors in it kept reminding me of joss.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Which one was it?

Curse of the Werewolf, with Oliver Reed as the werewolf. The jossian guy was his co-worker in a winery or something (unclear). It was more a physical resemblance than a behavioural one.

Probably Reed in his drinking years (which was most of them, I suppose). I understand a lot of Hammer films were cut to shreds in this country because of adult content, so that may not have helped, depending on what version you saw.

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

Curse of the Were-Rabbit is sooooooooooo good. It's brilliantly funny and sweet and witty and full of adorable bunnies. Eventually I'll have to get it on DVD so I can pause it and read everything in the background -- as usual with Nick Park, if there are words on something in this film, it's a joke, and some of them go by too fast to catch the first time around.

Hey. New board.

Saw Capote last night. Very depressing, but also fantastically good. Philip Seymour Hoffman is amazing, and Catherine Keener is very good, too, and Clifton Collins is no slouch. Basically, the acting's great, the story's intriguing, the direction is artsy, the movie is really, really awesome.

Art Crawl!!!

Curse of the Were-Rabbit is totally one of the movies that I must see.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just saw Crash, which was a really good movie. Definitely gets the Polter-Cow Seal of Approval. Of course, I'm a sucker for movies about intersecting lives (cf. Magnolia, Happiness ), but this one was squarely focused on race relations, and I think it worked in a very real way, looking at the way people can react in different ways at different times. All the characters were painted in shades of grey. I also really liked the music.
