It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

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.

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.

Compassionately intolerant

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.

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.

move out and draw fire

I have to admit to a weakness for Bollywood music. I've been forcing my co-workers to listen to Punjabi pop for a couple weeks now.

Compassionately intolerant

I live at a fairly traffic-heavy intersection and I'm increasingly delighted by the Punjabi pop that has been pouring out of car windows recently. It is seriously displacing the thumpa-thump of hip hop.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Well, now I have to listen to it.

Not really take. More given and kept.

Falls within my semantic boundaries for take, not least of all because it's someone else's property.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Movies about education and the arts: can it be a documentary? Because Mad Hot Ballroom would certainly fit the bill if so.
