And hey, tomorrow Penn & Teller host F for Fake and Freaks. And other movies not starting with "F."
Where? Wow! Where?
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Frank, I think at least one factor is that O'Neal isn't the most expressive actor.
Heh, well, I think I dislike the idea (and some seriously unpleasant details about his personal life) of Ryan O'Neal more than I actually dislike him, because he's been in several movies I really, really like even though when I think "Ryan O'Neal" the response is "Ugh": Barry Lyndon, The Driver, Zero Effect, and of course What's Up Doc just off the top of my head.
Wheras I kinda like the idea of Babs, but usually actually experiencing her makes me want to scream like the kids in SOUTH PARK when she showed up there.

Where? Wow! Where?
Oops, sorry -- on TCM, starting at 8 EST. I saw it listed when looking up the Valentino stuff.

Always Anti-fascist!
Love "What's Up, Doc?" Only know "Ride The High Country" through Derek Strange, as I've not seen it. Strange loves it, though.

Even though this refers to TV movies, I'll put it here since a lot of us movie watchers have a thing for Sean Bean--BBC America is going to be showing the entire run of Sharpe films this summer, starting with Sharpe's Rifles on Saturday! The very first thing I saw him in back in the mid-1990s on Masterpiece Theatre, and he was so very yummy in that uniform with all the buttons (and very slim-hipped trousers, of course!). It's also fun to see Brian Cox as Major Hogan in the first few movies before he's replaced by another great character actor whose name I can't remember right now, but he played the Russian head spy in A Sum of All Fears.
I'm going to buy some blank videotapes for taping.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I saw Stick It this weekend. Not bad. It was sort of a lowest common denominator movie for the group I was with--none of us wanted to see the others' first choices. And we all came out of it thinking it was worth our $6.50. It even has plot twists that I didn't call 15 minutes in, which isn't something I can say about most sports-turn-around-a-troubled-teen's-life movies. I'm glad I went.
ETA: In retrospect, this is looking very small-praise-ish, which isn't what I meant. It's just a movie in a genre that doesn't often do it for me, and this time it really did.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I went to see The Davinci Code yesterday. Didn't love it. Didn't hate it. But I had to be physically restrained from responding to the tiny group of protesters outside the theatre.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I liked this review of The Da Vinci Code movie.
