Eh. She's still pretty. I probably won't see it unless I decide to get high for it, though. (Hey, it worked for Not Another Teen Movie. )

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.

Hey. New board.
I just watched Dark City, something I had been planning to do for a while. It's... unsettling. I don't think it packed as much punch as it could have, though I definitely enjoyed it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I saw The Matador and Tristram Shandy today. The Matador was good, but not great. The plot and tone are kind of all over the place,but Pierce Brosnan's performance is fantastic.
Tristram Shandy, though, I loved. It was hysterically funny. Other than that, it's difficult to describe, but I think it would play well with most Buffistas.
[eta: Oh, and after dinner we went back again and saw Roving Mars, which is terrific. If you've followed the rover news as it's unfolded, the movie won't show you anything new, really (though the scenes WITH LORI IN THEM of the rovers being built/tested are extremely cool), but if you like IMAX movies with Buffistas in them, it's definitely worth the 40 minutes.]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Probably a silly question but is Tristram Shandy really based on the novel?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's based on the filming of the unfilmable novel. So yes and no.

Exactly like Naked Lunch then!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I love Dark City. It's not a great movie, but it's stayed with me.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Patrick Kake. Narnia was very enjoyable to me last night, but when I saw Oreius, I went, "Damn, that's Mauser." Time to re-watch the adventures of Hel, Sarge, Cleo and Mauser, in Cleopatra 2525.

Same as Beverly (as usual) about Dark City.
And it always seems to prompt a discussion about which character was the God analogue.

I loved Dark City. Agreed, it's not a great movie, but a good one, that sticks with you.
And the various little tricks the filmmakers used are amazing. My personal favorite is that, until Jennifer Connelly's character "wakes up," she has no key light. She's lit entirely by fill (not counting her torch-singer segments, which are lit differently for different reasons).
