I'm pretty sure that's the reference.

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.

Ooh, I have the disk with The Body Snatchers from Netflix right now. I'm slowly working through the Lewton set. Probably won't get to it tonight, but maybe tomorrow.
I wasn't in a big hurry to watch it, but Karloff's performance is so great. Really sly and menacing. Also it just looks gorgeous. As ever with the Lewton RKOs, they did a lot with a little.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just saw The Queen.
TOTALLY FUCKING WONDERFUL. Helen Mirren is incredible and the script is nuanced and sharp and fascinating. Go see it!

So glad I only found out after the fact that Joey Lauren Adams was introducing her Arkansas-set Ashley Judd movie at the indie filmfest last night. No temptation to buy explosives now that it's over and done...

I finally got around to seeing Brick. It was pretty crazy. Really stylized, almost unbelievably so. But I'm not sure anyone's going to top it for quintessential high school noir. 'Cause, like, he totally just slapped noir onto high school and didn't hold back.

I just saw the best movie last night. It's called The History Boys, based on a play by Alan Bennett. It's funny as hell, surprisingly meaningful, with delicious tension throughout. I can't reccomend it enough.

Hey. New board.
I saw that on Broadway a few months ago. I wasn't 100% sure it held together, but I liked it a lot anyway. I'm looking forward to the movie.

You could definitely tell that the film was once a play--the transitions were often not clean, and it jumped around a lot. But man, it was an enjoyable thing to watch.
