I, on the other hand, just got back from seeing V for Vendetta. So much discussion of the movie focuses on its politics, so I'd just like to say that it's pretty fantastically directed. Lots of great visual/aural moments.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Interesting, Vonnie. Because that trailer is for the most BTDT movie ever. Glad it was wrong.

I'm glad that Inside Man is good, because I wanted to see it ever since the commercial showed Jodie Foster having fun and not trying to save her daughter while running around a house/ plane.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The Movie Timeline: "the history of everything, taken from one simple premise - that everything you see in the movies is true".

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
That's a great idea! My buddy Scott and I were just talking about writing a book with the same premise the other night.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Too bad "Alien Vs. Predator" makes it so irritatingly repetitive.

Well, only the first million years.
Even after that, it's not spot-checked that well, but there are some good bits.

Okay, someone on Whedonesque linked The Unified Field Crossover History of the Universe, which is much better done. It's basically a conglomerate of all sorts of sci-fi/fantasty lore, and, yes, that includes the Buffyverse.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Inside Man and Thank You For Smoking this weekend. Like the always smart and insightful Vonnie, I really liked Inside Man. It's a great evening at the movies--entertaining AND smart.
Thank You underwhelmed me. It was not nearly as funny or incisive as I hoped, although it had some good moments. JK Simmons was excellent AS ALWAYS.

He's great...his voice is awesome and he can play really good or really bad and make you believe it. Even if I forget his name a lot and call out "Dr Skoda!" when I see him...that's okay, cause Elizabeth Whatsits is still "Dr. Olivette" too. I have watched WAY too much L&O.
