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.

In case anyone was unsure - 40 Year Old Virgin = STUPID.
I know, I know. I was not well last night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Looks like Sean Bean is a good guy less than Liam Neeson survives.
Oh, and I liked 40 Year Old Virgin, though it was a little too human with the pain sometimes--unlike Wedding Crashers which allowed you to maintain a polite distance, all the better for howling with laughter.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I loved 40 Year-Old Virgin. I hurt myself laughing several places, and I thought it earned its sweet sad moments well. (Much like Apatow's other work -- I'm watching Undeclared on DVD, and I'd forgotten how good it was. Like Freaks and Geeks, only with less this-is-my-first-real-show self-consciousness.)

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

The scene with him riding on his bike and berating himself for being so stupid in front of the guys and saying stupid stuff? I had to laugh in order not to cry, because I've done/I do the same sort of self-berating. Not, of course, for exactly the same reasons, but you know what I mean.

Hey. New board.
I also liked 40-Year-Old Virgin a lot.

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

Haven't seen 40YOV yet, but I love Steve Carrell. It looks funny as all get out.
She usually annoys me, but Stephanie Zacharach's review of The New World over at Salon (day pass required) is cracking me up.
And in classic movie news, I watched It Happened One Night, with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert (HUH. BUH.), last night. Very enjoyable. I say it well deserved to walk away with all five major Oscars that year (movie, director, screenplay, actor, actress), but I have no idea what it was up against, so that wouldn't be an honest assessment. Still, it's a very funny movie, with very pretty, and talented, people in it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
It Happened One Night
I watched that about a month ago. I love it. Colbert and Gable play so well off each other. And talk about the snark? Wonderful!

The scene where the detectives show up at their cabin and Colbert just dives right in to the fake conversation Gable whips up, with only a second's warning, is pure genius.
