We're going to try to find some Rich and Pat Nixon porn on NetFlix to get the horridness of this movie out of our heads.
I could write some for you. Maybe put in some Ike for spice?
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Can anyone recommend The Quiet American? I caught the first few minutes on Bravo or AMC and I figure with Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser, how wrong could it go?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't remember it in detail. Kinda Le Carresque. Graham Greene to be precise.
I liked it.

Did you know T.C. Boyle already wrote a short story about the forbidden love of Mamie Eisenhower and Nikita Kruschev?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You've got it backwards. It's Ike and Nina, about Dwight Eisenhower and Nina Kruschev. It's hilarious.

Aha! Well, I knew it was in Ple's perverse political wheelhouse.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Watched District 13. There's a little movie that's better than it had to be!
That's the one I came out of thinking "I should really tell ita to see this movie."
I liked Quiet American a lot, Cash.

Do the titles Jaws 4: The Revenge and George of the Jungle ring any bells? Not that I know anything about The Quiet American, but neither actor is insurance against crapulosity.

I found George to be quite cute and funny, playing to Fraser's comic strengths. The Dudley Do-Right, movie, though, that's a stinker.

Because books.
Yeah, my nine-year-old loves George. And I don't much mind watching Brendan Fraser shirtless, either.
