Show me somebody who *would* kick a young Bowie out of their beds, and I will show you an insane-o person.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah. Everyone should lust after the Bowie. Straight men. Lesbians. Everybody.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yeah, Bowie-oost doesn't count.

move out and draw fire
I remember hearing rumors about the two of them when I was still in junior high (late '70s), and not really understanding at first how one would get sperm in one's stomach
See, I heard the stomach/sperm thing about Rod Stewart. Or maybe Richard Gere. But not Rod Stewart AND Richard Gere.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Gere was the gerbil, Stewart was the stomach pumping.
I started to crack up last night because I mentioned to my date that I'd spent the early afternoon watching the movie, prompting an angry rant from him about how he hated it. Dude, don't harsh my... well, not mellow, exactly, but appreciation of lingering sadness!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I really liked Brokeback, but I also found myself restless during the last hour. Images have stayed with me since although, like ita, I didn't tear up during the film.
I saw Casanova and Matchpoint this weekend. The first was complete and total fluff, but fun. Matchpoint I liked a lot. Wonderful performances. Everyone raves about SJ, and rightly so, but I was also impressed with Emily Mortimer in a difficult role. It's difficult to play a "regular" person and she had a wonderful understated reality to her.

hip deep in pie
I saw Transamerica yesterdayy, which was quite good, but only really sprang to life when they are with Bree's family.
But they showed trailers for Tristam Shandy which looked hilarious, and another British movie called Imagine Me and You, about a girl torn about to marry her boyfriend but finds herself attract to another woman, which also looked good. As a BTVS bonus, ASH plays the her dad.

Sodom and Gomorrah: The Movie.
Somehow, I'm betting "Oh, go ahead, rape my daughters instead" isn't in this one.

Jilli! Have you seen The Tomb of Ligeia with Vincent Price?
No, but I will make sure to track it down.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Well...I tried to see Zentropa today, but apparently nobody at IFC Center looked at the print before they showed it (we were at the first screening), because it had no subtitles! And only about 15% of the film is in English. For about the first 45 minutes, we all assumed that it was supposed to be like this, because the only conversations in German were little sidebars, and the majority of the content was in English, but after a while, it became clear that something was wrong. E went to ask one of the employees, who said, yes, this print doesn't have subtitles, sorry we didn't tell you before. So we left and got our money back.
On the plus side, we were sitting right next to Jena Malone, who is just as adorable in person as she is onscreen. She does get a few points deducted for leaving her phone on vibrate and answering a text message during the film. She left when we did.
