I do not think I am a Malick person, as The Thin Red Line is one of the few movies after which I honestly wanted my time back.
You and me both, baby. (I think we've talked about that before, haven't we?)
You, PC AND my DH are as one.
We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I know this is late, but I just saw Brokeback Mountain for the first time. I am sharing rentals with my best friend, but I think I may recommend she NOT see this one, as I sobbed out loud for about the last 1/4 of the movie. I am not sure I can make it through the extras.
Also, the sheep are cute!

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
At the risk of sounding sycophantic: David Ehrenstein (who we [mostly] all know and [occasionally] love) now has two DVD commentaries to his name. Both are part of the "Masters of Cinema" series by Eureka Video.
The first was the Nicholas Ray movie, The Savage Innocents, [ [link] ]
The second is an 80th Anniversary special edition of F. W. Murnau's Faust. [ [link] ]

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sophia, many of the sheep (in the wide shots) are digital. CGI Sheep! I find that entertaining

move out and draw fire
Finally saw The Aristocrats. Interesting on a whole lotta levels, not least being that the filmmakers, for all that they've been in showbiz, had clearly never made a movie before, not even in college.
One of the few DVDs I've bothered to watch again with the commentary track on.

Heh. Penn Jillette has no excuses. While PENN AND TELLER GET KILLED may not be a good movie (though I enjoyed bits of it), it IS a movie (an Arthur Penn movie at that, but definitely part of his declining years).

CUTE CGI Sheep. Although I in particular liked the lamb that Ennis was carrying in a saddle bag.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Warner will be releasing a Richard Donner cut of Superman II. (Who was fired before he could complete it).

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Interesting. Of course, having read that, I realized how much of the original Superman II I can't remember as it's probably been close to 20 years since I last saw it.
