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.
If Norma Shearer isn't overemoting, "I'm going to be queen! Queen of France!" I'm not sure I want to know.
And Aims nails it.
I knew you'd get that.

La Jetee, people. One of the finest short films ever made.Yes! Thanks Hec, I need to make a fresh copy, one with subtitles.
One of the finest short films ever made.
It's really more of an avant garde slide show with voiceover.
Mon 9/25 - Last Picture Show and Paper Moon (late night)
Somehow, this feels like a perfect double feature. Although Paper Moon would pair well with many films, Bogdanovich or not.
DH and I are watching Touching the Void. Holy shit is this compelling.
