Stand By Me is DH's favorite movie, no surprise there.
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

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.

Sean, I am so looking forward to Flyboys. The trailer was just wonderful. I must be a bit of a boy, but anything with planes in it, I can not resist.

How did you end up seeing it, Jess? Was it a reviewer screening?

Rushmore? If you squint your mind a little, it works.

Yep -- it's at the NYFF (Sept-Oct), so they're screening it for the press now even though it's not officially out until the end of the year.

Fame.
I mean, I'm pretty sure the kids were supposed to be adolescents.
What's the one about Hitler and his painting teacher? Or am I making up a movie that doesn't exist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's the one about Hitler and his painting teacher?
I was Hitler's Painting Teacher for the FBI!
OK, that probably doesn't exist.

Max. I think.
Did that have John Cusack or am I the one now making things up? Or, wait, was that his art dealer, not his teacher?

What's the one about Hitler and his painting teacher?
It's Max, but don't rent it because it's godawful. Chock full of lines like "Have you heard of Adolf Hitler, the painter? Oh, you will..." and "Come on Hitler, let me buy you a lemonade."

I watched Inside Man last night. That was a really effin' good movie. Probably my favorite Spike Lee joint. Even though it's not very Spike Lee-ish in some respects, you can see his fingerprints all over it. Like the Sikh (sp?) demanding his turban back.
One question for those who saw it though: Anybody else think that Denzel's character really did take the missing money from the check-cashing bust, and Ms. White just "took care of it"?
