Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
I said that at a stage show once. The offenders left at intermission and did not come back. Guess I have my mom's Scary Face.

Hey, only $36 for the Criterion edition of Brazil (including shipping)! That's... uh, still more than I can really afford to pay for it, but considering it's usually $60, that's a pretty good deal. Even used through Amazon, it's no cheaper, plus shipping charges.

there were 3 old ladies sitting behind us who talked throughout the entire movie (The Family Stone).
Old ladies are the worst!
I like going to see movies in the theatre. I like sitting in a big dark room with strangers and being forced to focus on the big white screen. I love the event of going to the movies and how a great film will transport you and take you away from yourself for a couple of hours.
But I have found it harder and harder to enjoy movies in the theatre, and I don't know if it's me getting crotchedier or if audiences have gotten worse, but my god, people have to shut up!
It also probably doesn't help that until our indie cinema closed 10 years ago, I almost exclusively went there. I think the audiences there were better behaved. And I used to think nothing about seeing a movie 2-3 times in the theatre.
Also, I have the attention span of a tse-tse fly, so if I try to watch a movie at home by myself, it takes a lot of effort not to stop it halfway through, check my email, see what's on TV, etc. I rarely feel sucked into a movie at home the way I do in the theatre.

I apologize to anyone who ends up in bankruptcy court due to my link.

Right, everybody send Corwood their bills for bankruptcy court.

I'd just have to add it all to my own bankruptcy settlement.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Best audience in my recent moviegoing history--An Ingmar Bergman double feature at the LA Museum. Full house and Not. A. Peep. It was heavenly.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I hate seeing movies with my best friend, and in fact try to avoid it, because she's the type of movie viewer who will ask the person sitting next to her (aka, ME) after every plot-twisty confusing event, "Why did he do that? Does she know him? They don't have a dog, do they?", even though I'm seeing the movie for the first time, too, same as her.
Pointing out that this is annoying as fuck, and why, only leads to hurt feelings, of the "Well, *you're* smarter than I am, so I thought *you* might have picked up on something that I didn't!" variety.
Which, you know, is bullshit, but it still leads me to all sorts of contrivances to not go to a movie alone with her. If there are other people, I can just be sure to not sit right next to her.
