That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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.

Can't remember, but Burritos and Bond was quite a tradition in our house for a while.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Like, Sean Connery putting on eyeliner and being able to pass for Japanese? Let's not go there.

YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. Great theme song, though.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Pretty good weekend for movies at my house. The best was The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, a fantastic (natch) and risque (natch) Preston Sturges comedy that puts the screws to the perception of the 40s as a more innocent time. Pretty damn good was the documentary Wordplay, which was reminiscent of Spellbound, but with entertaining interludes by such people of stature as Jon Stewart and President Clinton. Not so great was The Notorious Bettie Page (starring Gretchen Mol's rack), which was well-acted, but had the dumbed-down script of your average biopic, in which everyone always says exactly what's on their minds and all the scenes have a certain just-so-ness to them that is nothing like real life and everything like bad fiction.

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

Apparently they're turning Thank You for Smoking into a television series.

It was funny. Not that funny. Anybody really believe Katie Holmes could ever be described as the "reporter with the amazing tits?"(Although perhaps as a C-cup I'm not making allowances for the 'more than a mouthful is wasted' crowd out there.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I guess Peripheral Vision Man did get picked up.

That movie was so lackluster that the day after I watched it I was under the consistent misimpression that I needed to watch it before returning the DVD.

I liked the movie. It was pretty entertaining and funny, and I found the character of Nick Naylor interesting.

Well, I still haven't seen The Gift.

Perhaps she can juggle with them.

Well, maybe she wasn't bored on her wedding night, then, dawg. I wouldn't remember except they said it three times, without say, adding "Oh, yeah, they're little but they're perky. I love the perky tits." I laughed and was amused at the time, but they do realize shows have to be on every week, right? Shawn, snap. Go team Dale(?) and Ron.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Never in a million years did I picture that role being cast with Katie Holmes, but apparently when they combined the two characters from the book to create her, they decided to throw both physical descriptions out the window.
