I think I'll stay with the bargain basement plan, what with having kept Reason to Believe for a solid month before viewing it. I signed up for the wider-than-Blockbuster selection and the fact that the monthly cost is less than I pay in late fees when using local video stores.

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.

Art Crawl!!!
askye - that was totally my worry. That you would get the free upgrade and then next thing you know -- be paying for it.
Also, I really haven't been going through my list. Well, perhaps after November sweeps.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Interview with Harold Ramis, where he talks about the unmade Ghostbusters 3, which sounds really, really cool.

'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"
Ghostbusters 2 was such a disappointment, I find myself not even wanting to give #3 a chance... even though I adore the first movie and overall, Ramis has a good track record.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Two thousand eight hundred eighty frames in a movie
Two thousand eight hundred eighty chances to fail
Two thousand eight hundred eighty still frames to move me
How do I measure- measure Rent here?
In numbers - in dances
In dubious- chor-e-o-graphy
In boredom - in head shakes - in eye rolls, in strife
In- two thousand eight hundred eighty frames in a movie
How do you measure Rent's place in my life?

Beginning to watch Ghostbusters. What is the first thing we hear, while the studio credit it still rolling? A theremin.

I watched Mirrormask tonight. A visual feast, but it seems so sterile and flat story-wise that I would never have guessed it to be a Neil Gaiman work if I hadn't known beforehand. Still, it pulled in half a theater full of folks at a cinema that normally has about 6 patrons other than me for any given movie.

I finally saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I thought it was really amazing. It looked pretty meh from the trailers, but it's Tim Burton, so I figured it would be halfway decent. It was way more than halfway decent. It was probably even the funniest movie I've seen this year. Willy Wonka was such an asshole it was great. And, of course, the visuals were stunning, just like every other Tim Burton film. I'm happy now.

I saw Jarhead yesterday. It was well made and well acted and easy to sit through, but it didn't really leave me with anything afterwards.

Now tagless for your comfort.

So it really is like the first Gulf War, then?
