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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oopsie. Thanks, ita. I entered "<a href="">blah blah blah... " forgetting the URL. Huh - so that's what happens when you do that....

Having watched Match Point last night, I can officially say that I'm over Scarlett Johansson.

Really? I had the same amount of Scarlett love exiting as entering that movie. What put you off?

I thought she and the main guy were both trying so hard to emote SEXY that it was really offputting. We were both laughing in places that weren't supposed to be funny. Plus I just thought overall she wasn't very good. I could see the Acting taking place.

They didn't have a lot of chemistry, I'll grant. Though I was kind of blaming him. I thought her part was underwritten and she did pretty well putting something into it.
I liked the movie though for the London Real Estate Porn.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
A fascinating essay by Ron Rosenbaum, the author of "Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil" (which I totally loved).
Going back to read the essay now, but first I must say how deeply I heart tommyrot. "Explaining Hitler" is an amazing book, intelligent and profoundly uncomfortable and with a conclusion that still gives me unhappy bottom-of-my-gut/lizard-brain/depths-of-the-soul shivers when I think about it. If you haven't read his collection "Travels With Dr. Death," you must. Like, today. He's such an utterly fucking fantastic essayist and journalist.

I agree with that.

Yay!

That sounds cool. But it looks like I'll have to order a used copy or something, so I can't read it today....

That was good. GF and I also snickered at the main guy's wife liking the play The Woman In White. We saw it and thought it was pretty terrible.
