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 gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

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 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?

You could say that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I really feel that Three Kings is the only Gulf War movie I need.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Clooney'll have that effect.
But mostly-nekkid Gyllen-whatsit? Nah, the psycho episode has dulled his lustre for me.

He's probably just lashing out because he's all confused about being a G-A-Y.

I can't even.
Thanks for that Harold Ramis link, Tom. That was an excellent interview.

I've never seen Three Kings. I think I'm going to have to see it.
Edited, and now tom looks crazy.
