In the original Wicker Man, it's a Punch costume, which has all sorts of symbolism. Bear costume, NSM.
Too bad the director didn't have the cojones to put Cage in a Scream costume.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just watched Crank. It's a piece of gratuitous glory, that's for sure. Main beef is tied between his cellphone working after the dip in the pool, and the fact that there were more butt shots than chest shots, and the butt? Not that special.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Nutty, I missed the liquid. For me, it was just the fact that she was so conviniently slumped over on that horse and there was no blood dripping. The doctor objecting to her being touched later sealed it for me. I did turn to Teacup Guy after the movie and say, "The pulled a Romeo and Juliet, only they succeeded!"
ETA: I missed the panty line, but I did think she was wearing too much obvious looking, modern looking make-up for the time period.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I'm not reading the white font since I want to see the movie, but sj mentions one of my pet peeves:
but I did think she was wearing too much obvious looking, modern looking make-up for the time period.
There are subtle ways of doing make-up that look like they aren't even there yet still enhance a person's looks. It's one of the things I like about the period pieces for the 17th and 18th centuries. The style of make-up was so different as to look bizarre to us now, but at least when they make those movies they're going for veracity.
Editted because sj is not Nutty.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We watched V for Vendetta and March of the Penguins this weekend.
I LOVED V for Vendetta. Loved loved loved. I need to finish reading the comic.
March of Penguins was great. I want a baby penguin more than anything now.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I want a baby penguin more than anything now.
More than a camel?

In our current living situation, I'd rather the baby penguin. However, when we actually have space for a camel, I'm totally getting one.

Main beef is...that there were more butt shots than chest shots, and the butt? Not that special.
My thought exactly. Right after, jeez, that was bizarre and I heart Dwight Yokum.
Plus...the kinda stringy calves. I worship Jason Staitham's pecs, (and accent and chrome dome and square jaw)but the rest? I'm disappointed!
Aimee, with all due respect to the terminal cuteness of every baby penguin in existance...when you get one, be sure to get nose plugs too. This former penguin wrangler (Seaworld San Diego, yonks ago) sees them as just one thing...stinky poop machines!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I would have liked more Statham shirt off scenes, myself. [link]

Amiée, do you know how to knit? 'cause you can knit with camel yarn.
