I question the sanity of anyone who has seen more than one Uwe Boll movie.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ouch.
“Memoirs of A Geisha” — Costumes? Check. Beautiful sets? Check. Actors with countless hours of dialect coaching under their kimonos? Check. Okay, let’s get that “Showgirls” script and we’ll change the dates, location and race of the women. Now, where’s our Academy Award nomination? Why you should see it anyway: Because you never knew that a P.F. Chang’s vision of “Oriental” would make this kind of cultural comeback. And when “Showgirls” made its bow in the mid 1990s, no one could have predicted it would become the cult phenomenon it is today. Seeing this now will guarantee you a spot on that future-camp bandwagon.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Heheheheheh:
I know the scene where Racism pushes Sandra Bullock down a flight of stairs deserves some kind of award.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, we went to see Kong.
Good lord that was a long movie.
Peter Jackson wouldn't know a tight edit if it picked him up, tossed him in the air, caught him with its foot, and then flung him against a wall.
Andy and Naomi were amazing.
But there were several times when I said t River voice Doesn't make sense.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yup.
Andy and Naomi were amazing.
But this. You know when I cried? On the frozen pond. And I think actually from that point on.
Jackson's kids were in there, again, too.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
We noticed that, as well.
However, I thought the pond went on too long (as so much of the film did). Seriously. Eventually even ape-butt gets cold.

Hey. New board.
So, since Monday, I have seen Kong, Narnia, Geisha, and re-watched Love, Actually and Pirates of the Caribbean. In order of David-Love (from least-loved to most-loved) these movies go:
5) Geisha
4) Pirates
3) Kong
2) Narnia
1) Love
But I do quite like all of them. Pirates and Kong may switch places after the novelty wears off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Talk about retreading holy ground:
According to IGN.com, writer/director Peter Farrelly (The Perfect Catch) is making progress on his update of The Three Stooges. "It will be an old time matinee feeling," he explains, "And we're thinking of going with complete unknowns or whoever the best actors are - Benicio Del Toro has expressed interest in playing Moe. Jeff Daniels has expressed some interest in playing Larry."
The script is made up of four 20-minute episodes with all the action set in the present day. "The first episode is them growing up in an orphanage...[and] ends with them as adults," says Mr F. "We want to shoot it in March and we want it out a year from now."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hmmmm. I could see Jack Black as Curly...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They should recreate the original actors using CGI.
(I just wanna see how bad it would turn out.)
