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."
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.

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.

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

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"?

Also? I'm madly in love with that Bollywood number that opens and closes the film. I may have to start watching Bollywood musicals if the music is that catchy.

I don't remember "Stand by Me" or "Stand and Deliver" dealing with the Arts - what am I forgetting?

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.
It looks like it will be really exciting. I've always wanted to see more good WWI movies.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
One question for those who saw it though: Anybody else think that
No and yes. I think that Denzel's character didn't take the money, but it was never actually found and Ms. White just fixed things for him as part of their deal.

Ditto. It was less emotional than other SLJoints but just as pointed in its social commentary. I loved it.
And re: Denzel I got the impression that he DID take the money, but I'm not sure why that sticks out so strongly in my mind.
Must rewatch. Are there good extras on the dvd? Off to Amazon...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought he just took the diamond.
It's different from most Spike Lee joints--he didn't write it.
