La Jetee, people. One of the finest short films ever made.
Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

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.

One of the finest short films ever made.
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.

Compassionately intolerant
Saw The Protector last night. Thai cinema. Huh.
There were truly fun parts, whoa!moments (the previously mentioned running up walls...I couldn't see the wires!) and some truly dumb stuff.
The animals in peril aspect was unexpected and was way more stressful than the actual fighting.
Jaa is a terrific fighter. We learned about 487 ways to powder an arm bone .
And the carpoeria (sp) dude, if he doesn't already have a great career, should.

Cashmere, Touching the Void was a movie that Nutty and I watched together. Well, Nutty watched and I kind of watched through my fingers... even knowing that the narrators survived, because hey, there they were, narrating.
