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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cool!

Just recently I was considering buying the DVD of The Man Who Fell to Earth. I don't remember much from that movie.

This is the one about the dueling turn of the century magicians, right? I think we can expect to see both Bale and Jackman in tuxedos here.

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

You do know that the UK has a different age of consent, right? They're not doing anything illegal over there.

Yup. Best idea for a movie EVER. If possibly influenced by Susannah Clarke perhaps maybe a little.

Neat casting.

FWIW, The Prestige (book) predates Clarke's more recent work.

Ah. Well, I can't say the world doesn't need more duelling magicians. The more the merrier.
