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.

I heard Elizabethtown got a crappy reception at Toronto Film Festival. (Granted, it was apparently the longer, unedited version.) I've heard it described as one over-long song-fic.

It looks like it's just a rehash of frelling Jerry Maguire. So I guess it's Jerry Maguire/Almost Famous.

Damien Lewis as Lt. Winters in Band of Brothers.

Yes, yes, yes. Amazing facility. And to me, his accent in BofB sounds convincingly Pennsylvanian.

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

DH tried to explain the plot to me, and it hurt. To me, it sounds like Crowe is tired of people thinking his endings come out of nowhere, and so decided to just make the whole damn movie come out of nowhere this time.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Never saw Mullholand Drive did he?

Now it is time to list favorite BAD accents.

Walter Koenig speaking in his normal voice sounds like Pavel Chekov trying desperately to hide his Russian accent and doing a very bad job of it.

He's from Chicago.

Cameron Crowe, or DH?

(Mulholland Drive is one of E's favorite movies.)

move out and draw fire

Worst accents include "Far and Away" fer sure.

Damien Lewis as Lt. Winters in Band of Brothers

wonders idly if there's Winters/Nix slashfic out there.

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

Hugh Laurie in HOuse.

Tiny bit iffy at first. Perfect now.

I know Renee Zellweger got props from the British press for her Bridget Jones accent.

There has to be, Raq! (BTW, have you seen the pic of the real Nix the morning after VE Day? It's in the book, and he epitomizes the word "hungover".)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
