Some good rumors there.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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.

Hmmm, I don't recall any gay college professors from "The Shadow over Innsmouth." But you gotta love a movie that features, as Lovecraft put it, "Earth's supreme horror."
And it has Cthulhu as well!
Funny AND birthdaying! Happy Birthday, Matt!

A tentative yay? But
Hodge, the Academy Award-nominated writer of Trainspotting, will adapt the story of Will Stanton
is wrong on a whole bunch of levels.

Hey. New board.
I never would have called that one.
Oh, wait, yes I would've. I mean, it's the obvious next step after Lion Witch and His Dark Materials. Next will be The Book of Three, is my guess. Or maybe they'll ape Disney and jump straight to The Black Cauldron, only not animated (I hope).
Kids fantasy is in style! Which, by the way, is a big "yay" for me, since it's one of my favorite genres. So I'm not complaining.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Just got back from A History of Violence.
Viggo was good. Damn good. I loved the pacing and the tension. The ending bothered me somewhat. After the obvious climax of the film, I felt there was only one way to go and that may have been towards cheesiness. William Hurt annoyed me.
But damn. Viggo. Pretty.

William Hurt annoyed me.
William Hurt always annoys me. To this day, I still have not seen the movie Michael all the way through because Hurt's performance in it puts me to sleep every. single. time.
Seriously. I've tried while awake for only a few hours, and with fresh coffee in me. SNOOOOOOOORE.

There's something about his voice. It either has NO inflection or he has to go over the top to achieve emotion. This time, WAY over the top. And it was bothersome. He was the only actor that stuck out like a sore thumb to me. Ed Harris, on the other hand, was wonderfully menacing without the scenery chewing.
Viggo was understated as usual and fit the part so well.

I've been showing S the LOTR movies. She hadn't seen them. It took a while, because they were the unabridged versions, so she could only take one disk at a time, and we'd go for a whil in between actual movies. We just finished RotK over the weekend, and she was absolutely blown away.
This all just a rambling way of saying that I have a bit of a man crush on Viggo.

He's got broad appeal. IJS.
