Saw Akeelah and the Bee and MI:3 this weekend and was unimpressed with both. I agree with Beej on The Mission of the Impossible.. There were a couple of good set pieces in MI:3, but it was rather dull. Akeelah and the Bee I WANTED to be good, given the theme, subject matter and cast, but the script was predictable and trite.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I finally saw Walk the Line last night. That's a fantastic movie. But, even more relevant, Big Dead Gay Larry is in it!!
Also saw The Notorious Bettie Page. Gretchen Mol is absolutely charming as Bettie. You want to invite her over for a slumber party, watch movies and do each other's hair.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I really liked Knight Rider. I had such a crush on KITT. Of course, I was 10 at the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought Hasselhoff was the dreamiest guy ever.
At the time.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
God, that show ran for four seasons?
Not that I watched it or anything.

"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
There was already a TV movie made of Knight Rider back in, what, 1992?, set in the year 2000. It was fantastic/bad.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Can you name that kiss?
