I just saw Crash, which was a really good movie.
You're of course speaking of the most recent one, about lives intersecting in LA, and not the freaky Cronenberg movie about people who get off sexually by being in car crashes, yes?
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yes. Is that one not a really good movie?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I liked it. But it's very strange and I think some find it disturbing.

Oh my god, Mirrormask.
If it is playing ANYWHERE near you, you must go see it. It's beautiful. Gorgeous, gorgeous visuals that I want to overlay on the world around me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just saw A History of Violence.
Liked it, although I thought it fell apart in the last act. Viggo is AMAZING. There is a scene where he stands up as Tom Stall and then walks toward Ed Harris and literally turns into Joey before our eyes. His whole physicality changes.

Viewing #5 of Serenity may be it for me for a week or two. I've seen it enough times in a short enough period that I started to drift off early on, though once the heist got underway the action was moving fast enough to keep me engaged. But during the fight at Inara's I found myself imagining Companion self-defense training with the Operative falling victim to pepper perfume spray, nerve Astroglide, or a high-powered "back massager" with its batteries set on overload .
Best line this viewing: "At last, we can retire and give up this life of crime."
Mal was right: Fanti is prettier than Mingo.
I noticed for the first time that Kaylee actually stepped on a wounded Jayne on her way to fuss over Simon after the folks on the mule narrowly escaped the Reavers.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh my god, Mirrormask.
I told you!

I liked [Cronenberg's Crash]. But it's very strange and I think some find it disturbing.
I read the book (by J.G. Ballard). That was brilliant. I have yet to see the movie, but I probably will eventually.

I read the book back around '88 or so. I remember thinking, "This is one of those books, like Naked Lunch, that is impossible to film."
I was amused to be proven wrong on both books (although the film Naked Lunch is about a writer who's writing a book much like the book Naked Lunch, so it's not exactly a film adaptation).

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
And they were both done by Cronenberg, right?
