Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

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.

Just finished watching the Tracy/March version of Inherit the Wind. What a brilliant, beautiful movie. So many recognizable actors! Henry Morgan as the judge, Dick York as the teacher on trial, Norman Fell in a bit role!

The script is excellent, based on the Broadway play, but it's Spencer Tracy's performance that illuminates the whole film. March was in many ways just doing an impersonation. He does it well, and it's a pivotal role, but Tracy just inhabits the character, bringing that wonderful warmth, life, and world weary wisdom Tracy was able to bring to so many roles. Just seeing the film made my whole day.

I keep thinking I'd like to go down to Dayton, TN, when they have their annual re-enactment of the Scopes trial.

Watched But I'm a Cheerleader last night, after stumbling upon it three minutes in. On the whole, I tend to agree with the Ebert's Movie Guide comment that it's a John Waters wannabee director, but it was still diverting... and actually, more coherent plotwise.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Kathy, there are far too many people there who think the wrong side lost that trial...

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

Is Children of Men gory at all? I'm thinking about seeing it tonight.

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

Is Children of Men gory at all?

It's violent, but not gory.

Thanks, Jessica.

There are a lot of evolution supporters now in Dayton, TN? Despite the stirring and cogent defense, as in the movie, Scopes lost.

Good lord, I'm an idiot. You're quite right, Sean. @@ I knew that, I swear I did.
