Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I just saw Brokeback Mountain last weekend, and it was ok, but a bit Douglas Sirk-ish melodramatic for my tastes (although I'd take it over any Sirk picture in particular). Also I thought the scene with Ennis's ex was too "repression hurts people, mmmmkay?" bludgeony.

Deadwood: Saw no previews. Yes on points 2 and 3, although we don't know what Al is going to do about Wu's army. I'm presuming he originally intended them to work Hearst's mines, back when he thought Hearst was a halfway reasonable man.

I am Corwood. It's weird to not feel the love for a movie that most people that share my taste really really love. See also Lost In Translation.

Deadwood: Heh, well maybe they WILL have Wu's army work Hearst's mines for a spell.

Always Anti-fascist!

I thought "Brokeback" was good but somehow I missed the deep love.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I missed the deep love of Lost in Translation. I spent the whole movie going, Yes? And?

Always Anti-fascist!

Me too, though I didn't hate it. My heartstrings are hard to work these days. The last one that did was "The Boys of Baraka".(Which I recommend to all Wire fans, in advance of the Education Season)

The last movie that tugged the heartstrings (actually took an axe to the heartstrings) was Mysterious Skin. Beautifully made and just devastating.

Hey. New board.

I quite liked Mysterious Skin. I also have a hugely strong emotional reaction to Lost in Translation, as I've discussed here many times.
