I adored her, but then, I've never seen Rent on stage.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hey. New board.
In all three casts I've seen, Joanne has been the weakest cast member, so I'm very, very happy to see Tracie in the film.

Hey. New board.
Okay, wow.
Emotional wreck now.
I don't think it's a great film. I wish it had been given to an inspired director, instead of the world's most boring one. It needed better connections between the music and the not-music. It shouldn't have cut the end of Goodbye Love. But still. I'm so, so grateful that it exists.
Why are so many musical movies that way?

Hey. New board.
Okay. Dropping the emotional baggage (I think the entire bottle of wine I drank while watching is helping) to go to SNAKES ON A MOTHERFU--IN PLANE!
More later. Somebody else post while I'm gone, so I don't feel like I'm hijacking the thread. Please.
(OH! I meant to post the other day that I finally saw Breakfast at Tiffany's and it was very silly but I, like everybody in the world, am completely in love with Audrey Hepburn.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Have you seen her in Roman Holiday yet? She's just ridiculously fall-in-love-withable in that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think after drinking a bottle of wine is the perfect state to see SoaP. I have had no wine, but I intend to remedy that before 9:10 tonight.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm beginning to see where Emily and I went wrong. Stupid having to drive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes. I must drink tonight.

MOTHERFUCKIN' SNAKES!
That was pretty awesome. It could have been better, but...it was pretty awesome.
The most amusing meta-thing was that not once in the movie does anyone actually say the line "snakes on a plane." They do, however, repeatedly say "Pacific Air Flight 121." Heh.

I love that movie.
I ALSO Love Snakes on a Plane. I think that may have been the most satisfying moviegoing experience of my life. I'm quite sure the bottle of wine and three beers helped. But still. Snakes. Plane. Samuel L. Jackson. Did I mention Snakes? They were there. Biting people. Most of them (the people, but also snakes) died. Gruesomely. It was awesome.
