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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Yeah, i've seen Bodie out there. Bub's partner (what was his name?) showed up in an episode of My Name Is Earl. Kima's girlfriend was in a Verizon commercial. And Veronica Mars played That Guy Who Was Levy's character rather noble.

Thrive to spite them

Has anyone heard anyting about Charlize Theron's new movie North Country? I've only seen it advertised in women's magazines and for a bit thought it was period piece. It's not, it's based on a true story about a woman who took work as a miner and then faced and fought against harassment.

My tagline is from the AP wire article about political films, they talk about George Clooney's new movie, I wasn't planning on seeing North Country, but I now I'm interested.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Why has Gary Oldman never even been NOMINATED for an Academy Award?

Always Anti-fascist!

Because award committees are full of punk-assed bitches. Sorry...Emmy Tourette's. Carry on.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The accents. Bad though they are. Putting on an accent is like dying or being mentally disabled, just with more Brooklyn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Putting on an accent is like dying or being mentally disabled, just with more Brooklyn.

But wouldn't that work in his favour, not against him?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Is there a particular role he should have been nominated for? Not that there aren't "lifetime achievement" nominations (Al Pacino, I'm looking at you) but he hasn't quite hit that yet.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Is there a particular role he should have been nominated for?

Sid and Nancy, Prick Up Your Ears, and I'd probably say Romeo Is Bleeding and R&GAD, but the last two are just my personal favs.

Then there was his extended period of complete crap, followed by his excellent turn as Jim Gordon in Batman Begins.
