Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

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.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I see Michael Bay is remaking (or would it be re-envisioning?) Lost in Translation.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think I would enjoy that version more.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I saw Mrs. Henderson Presents with Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins. Very disarming and a terrific script--you think you know all about the characters from the beginning but layers are revealed throughout. It's funny and stylish and a perfect Christmas movie--for adults (it's about a burleque-type theatre in Wartime London, so lots of gorgeous naked women throughout).

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

My sister's looking for Brokeback Mountain online discussion. Narrowly headed her off at the imdb pass, trash-talked TT Ovies (for this particular flick), but have no actual suggestions -- where should she go?

Want to subject her to Ehrenstein's ranting over at WorldX? I thought the sane people were having some interesting discussions around him.

It might pay off in entertainment value, but she's already got high blood pressure.

Cesperanza's hosting some interesting discussion in her livejournal -- open to all.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Yep.
