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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

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?

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.

I rather liked Lost In Translation, but I didn't think it was better than, say, The Virgin Suicides.

Oh, The Virgin Suicides makes me cry. When I first saw it, I didn't know what was going to happen, and the fact that it had the inevitable, rather than the happy, ending was a gut-punch.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I haven't seen The Virgin Suicides in so long, so I can't really talk about why Lost in Translation hit me so much harder. I think they're both amazingly well-directed movies (and their combined strength is why I'm looking forward to Marie Antoinette with hope instead of dread).

Is on my list.(considers removing, but hell, if I could take it when Wallace died... I'm Simon fan "We never have good news for anyone. Ever.") Or Frank Sobatka...(sniff) Will play it by ear, I suppose. my queue is long as Wu's I think. If Bubbles dies, I think I'll have to be rehydrated professionally though. Don't know...something about that man, junkie or not, just kills me every time I see him. He's kind of...sweetnatured or something. Even though he steals and probably, being a hard-core fiend, has lied to every friend or family member, there's something still good in there, damn it.
