Oh, I noticed their skin aging.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Even in a Terry Gilliam universe, it makes no sense.
It's not even PRETTY. That's what I was outraged by. I mean, I didn't expect sense, and I knew it had had problems in addition, but most Gilliam stuff, you look at it and there's a Gilliamesqueisnessitudeness... ism... Uh. I thought I'd like looking at it, is what I'm saying. But no. Every once in a while I could distract myself by thinking about what a scene was originally supposed to be like, but mostly I'd never have guessed he'd been anywhere near it.
Though that's why I was thinking of renting it. He does a commentary, doesn't he? I like when he rants.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Uh. I thought I'd like looking at it, is what I'm saying. But no.
Yeah, it was ugly in such a conventional way. There were, like, three wide-angle crane shots.
There is a commentary, but I doubt we'll get around to it because that would mean watching the movie again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Heath's skin definitely aged. It's possible I couldn't take my eyes off him.
I didn't think about the soundtrack until I was catching up on podcasts and heard a review with it playing in the background. Then I needed it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I did have some minor problems with the movie, mostly having to do with the aging of the characters, which never rang true to me, especially with Anne Hathaway. I found it distracting never to be sure what age anyone was supposed to be or how much time had passed.
Yeah, I had problems with that too.
I was transfixed by Kate Mara. If you're going with the stereotype of All American Pretty, she is so it.
Yeah, I was glad to see her. I knew her from Jack and Bobby.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I saw the first full length trailer for Brokeback Mountain yesterday. I've GOT to get to the theatre to see this. If the trailer can bring out that kind of reaction, I'm stocking up on Kleenex for the film.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess I clocked things by Alma Jr, and never really had a hard time with the time--if the hairstyles had changed, more time had passed, please refer to the children for details.
I remembered Kate from Nip/Tuck, but had a hard time placing her. So I stopped fighting it and just enjoyed her face.

I saw Harold and Kumar last night and absolutely loved it. I was laughing my ass off through the whole thing.

Beautiful, beautiful film. Martin Landau is fantastic. Pretty pretty cars, clothes and buildings. Wonderful cinematography and stylization. And a Joe Jackson soundtrack. Joe-Bob says check it out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Last night I saw The Bloody Brood. A 1959 movie in which Peter Falk is a heroin dealer posing as a beatnik who discovers that killing people is the ultimate kick.
