Yeah, sometimes it is hard to know... because it's not exactly true that if I really laugh at a comedy and give it the same rating as Deadwood, that I like it in the same way I like Deadwood. Apples and uh, peaches right? But I really enjoyed it the day that I watched it, so I feel inclined to give it the high rating. And I only give one if I can't stand to finish or something. I probably look like the cheapest Netflix date in the world.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

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.

Yeah, definitely. A lot of the images stick with me, but the plot itself has long since evaporated from my brain.
Which makes sense considering the gaping holes in it. It's best not to think about it. I focus on Alain Delon = pretty.
Also seconding the Purple Noon recommendation. Although, if bad dubbing bothers you in any way, I'd avoid it getting it through Netflix.
"En plein soleil" means "in the heat of the sun".

Why did I see the words "Purple Noon" and think I was seeing "Purple Rain"? Although, that would be a good movie to see with French dubbing.
Can anyone translate "Darling Nikki" into French?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
So, she was just kissing that magazine in French?

Note: "niquer" also means "to fuck". Interesting.

This thread makes me feel so ignorant.

second that emotion, bunky. But I console myself that that is how we learn. Sometimes.

But, see, I have, at my feet, a copy of 'The Dark' and a real inviting blanket. And I'll probably pick the simpler pleasure. And a fresh dose of mild self-loathing.

Ah, *mild* self-loathing. Amateur. I've only seen a few foreign films that weren't Aussie or English, though. But there have been some...I guess I'm finally learning to cope with posting with people smarter than I am.
