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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Always Anti-fascist!
You've taught me well enough that I couldn't find any words either.

Huh. I just heard from a friend that a mutual friend of our who HATED the Firth/Ehle P&P due to it's unfaithfulness to the book LOVED the new film verson -- thought it captured the book perfectly.
What.
Ev.
Er.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Gah-buh? I mean, I liked both the series and the movie, but.... it didn't, really.

Art Crawl!!!
I know!
I have to think that basically she just wasn't feeling the Firth/Ehle -- but don't get up on your high horse about the adaptation when you mean that you think it was cast incorrectly!
I FINALLY watched Bride and Prejudice last night -- that was so much fun!

So....
Kong.
Is good. A little light and fluffy, given its length, but is good. Go see it.

I saw an ad last night during one of the shows I was watching that I could only term the "TITANIC" ad for KONG. Down to the psuedo-Dion/Horner music over it. Doesn't mean I won't see it, but I was amused as hell by the blatant targeting (not sure if that's the right word for what I mean) of it.
Plus I kept picturing TITANIC with a 50 ft tall gorilla in the DeCaprio role.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Kong. Is good.
t is jealous
Frank, I saw that same ad -- I kept expecting the music to change, but no, it was Generic Sappy Romance soundtrack all the way through. Weird.

Seriously. It was selling epic romance, and though there was a shot of Adrien Brody and Naomi Watts kissing, those two weren't the couple the ad seemed to be selling. I snerked mightily, especially since the only romantic couple that Jackson has ever sold me on is in HEAVENLY CREATURES.

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

C'mon -- Aragorn/Legolas? Sam/Frodo? Pippin/Merry?
Are you made of stone, man?
