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.

Sports Night! Yes! (Actually, Dana, I was reading a few of your SN fics earlier today--they're totally my comfort reading.)
Also, Melpomene, definitely see The Producers first. I can't imagine being able to sit through anything, let alone anything so frantic and over-the-top, after Brokeback Mountain.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I was going to watch "The Awful Truth". I'd started it, but I also started looking Cary Grant up on the Internet. And got sucked into this and spent way too long reading this instead.

Sorry about that last post - apparently my wireless keyboard went wonky.
So yeah, watched Constantine last night. I've not read the Hellblazer comics, so I just know of John Constantine from encountering him as a walk-on in other comics. I think the movie would've worked a lot better if they'd had someone in the lead role who wasn't a pretty boy like Keanu. I couldn't believe Keanu was a 30-cig a day smoker, or emotionally scarred; but also the noirish sensability called for a more Bogartian tough-guy lead.
And some chemistry between the leads would've been nice.
But otherwise, yeah, it wasn't nearly as bad as I'd thought it would be. Partially that's because it didn't try to be a Movie, just popcorn entertainment, which it definitely did well. The effects were really good, and Tilda Swinton rocked the house.
