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.

It's really more of an avant garde slide show with voiceover.

Ann, that's a ferret.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, Fred. Kind of a similar vibe, huh? Greta Garbo and I have the same birthday. But that was the first thing I ever knew about her, when I was twelve or something.

Creepy!

Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.
