I highly recommend buying the dvd!
It's on my Christmas list! I've wanted it since it came out.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I just added about a dozen Shirley Temple movies to my wish list.

Hey, Corwood! This makes me think of the Office finale.
Which one? Dawn in the BBC one?
The DH is out tonight, so I am going to watch Gosford Park in Altman's honor. I own quite few Altman films , but GP is the one calling to me today.
Sweet. I love that movie, too, and wished I owned a copy. I was just thinking about consoling myself with McCabe or The Long Goodbye. I think Thieves Like Us may be the only other Altman I have around the house, and I just rewatched it a few weeks back.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I second Beej's comment that the extras are really worthwhile on the DVD. It's definitely worth owning.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, no, I mean David's response to being severanced in the second season finale.

Oh, indeed. But then he starts talking about Dolly Parton to make everyone feel better.

Curse of the Golden Flower is MADE OF SO MUCH FUCKING AWESOME that there is no more awesome left. All your awesome are belong to this movie.
Ignore the Variety review, for they were clearly smoking the bad crack when they watched this film.
E's description after we saw it last night: "If Tennessee Williams had written Hamlet and set it in 10th century China, with ninjas*."
Chow Yun Fat = AWESOME. Gong Li = AWESOME. Cinematography = AWESOME. Hundreds of spider ninjas dropping out of the sky and attacking people with awesome curvy knives and bits of string = AWESOME.
I spent the last half of this movie with my jaw on the floor, it was that good.
(*Or whatever the Chinese equivalent would be. They're dressed in all black, they're stealthy, and they're really really good at killing, so I'm calling them ninjas.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Did they kill people with paper clips and pocket lint too? Are these the Ninjas of the Intricate Order of the Not-So-Benevolent MacGyver?

Don't hold back - tell us how you really feel.
Seriously, though, did you like it better than PAN'S LABYRINTH?

No, they basically stick with their curvy-knives-on-a-rope technique. They look like like sharp metal boomerangs on bungee cords. Both the blades and the cords are used as weapons.
