I've been doing it since 2002. On and off. It's more fun during the summer.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Man, ita, I had totally forgotten about that until you mentioned it. I'm up by quite a bit of money. Though David Boreanaz has lost me a lot of money. Good thing he's pretty.

The local film critic completely panned Lucky Number Slevin, but in so doing ensured my attendance with this passage:
The only real surprise here is why so many esteemed actors are willing to play second banana to Josh Hartnett, who stars as Slevin, a young man who spends much of the early part of the film covered only with a bath towel and the blood from his broken nose after gangsters kidnap him from a New York apartment.

I just saw the blowsy, gritty Pride & Prejudice remake. I'm sort of ambivalent about it. The only feeling I resolved is about the costuming. Realizing it must be set before the height of the Regency period so I'm now less bothered by the lower waist lines of the country fashions, as opposed to the higher ones of the elegant ladies. But I still think boy-chested Keira Knightly looks ghastly in the dresses.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was ambivalent about Keira, but decided that Matthew MacFadyen was welcome to save my family from ruin any time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I also liked the attemt to make the parents less cartoony thn they often are in film adaptations.

That was one of the things I loved about it. I loved Brenda Blethyn and Donald Sutherland as Mr. & Mrs. Bennet. They were so much less comtemptible. And Matthew MacFayden, while he could never make me forget Colin Firth, did a first rate job.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I saw Kinky Boots this evening, and unfortunately, it was awful. I was expecting The Full Monty, instead I got Billy Elliot.
The Chiwetel Ejiofor character is given zero depth, the story is told through a sequence of climactic speeches and endless montages, the plotting is weak and contrived, and the shoes aren't even that sexy. Feh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's too bad when the best thing about a movie is the title.

I've now watched P&P three times (once with the director's commentary). All in all, I liked it for the acting, the costumes and the set. But I think that it's technically an inferior effort--the sound sucks, the editing seemed weird to me when I found out that the director hated letters (even though the letters provide a lot of exposition for the book and the film versions I've seen).
