How Jack Nicholson avoids self-parody in Martin Scorsese’s brilliant return to form defies modern science.
Uh, really? Okay.
Riley: No pulse. Anya: Yup. The space lamb got 'im.

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.

Steve Carrell blew me away in LMS. I went in fully expecting to be put off by him, but instead I was completely interested and invested in his character. He put such depth and unspoken pain and ache into the characterisation that I felt every inch of what he was going through. Carrell really impressed me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Me too, SA.

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

Will Fonebone be able to enjoy the satisfaction of turning in a vitriolic review?
(Note that the editors accidentally broke up the first paragraph, which makes the hidden message not work. So treat the first two paragraphs as one until they fix it if you feel like decoding it - ...which I do recommend. [eta: They fixed it!])

Oh! Has anyone seen the previews for Grindhouse? It was like travelling back in time to a 70s drive-in theater. With one scene, Rose McGowan has completely wiped the stain of Charmed off her career.
Also, the trailer for Room 1408 shows that Stephen King's best, scariest short story has been Hollywoodized into two hours of shit jumping out at you and yelling "BOO!". It looked like a train-wreck merger of Panic Room and 13 Ghosts. Ugh.

I just watched some trailers for Grindhouse a day or two ago and OH MY GOD YES. I wanna have a sleazy movie marathon to prepare.
Actually, that might be a good reason to resume stalking Joe Bob. Hm.
Jessica, give my compliments to Fonebone, because I'm still giggling.
