Also, the Little Miss Sunshine trailer they had at the Oscar site was one I hadn't seen, and it made me cry (and LAUGH) a LOT.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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 have to say that was my second favorite part of the evening. My favoritest part was the Ferrell/Black/Reily song.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I very much want to see "Lives of Others."
I saw "Science of Sleep" this weekend and loved it. Oh, Gabriel, how awesome are you? And the way everything was constructed, and the three languages, and, and, and-- Just lovely. I have to own that.
Also saw "Hot Fuzz." Are you getting that in the states? Because HOMG it is so funny I think I broke something in the cinema. And the best part is that, in cleverly mocking the cop film genre, they actually end up making a *really smart cop film!* It works on so many levels, people! And the way Simon Pegg physically transformed himself for the role---it's rockin' stuff all around.

Did you see their bit before hand?
NO!
Lucas: When it comes to Oscars this proves that it's better to give than receive.
Coppola and Spielberg together: No it isn't.
OMG, that's HILARIOUS!
Poor George, getting picked on for never getting an Oscar. I suppose the fact that he's (probably) richer than any of them will keep him comforted.

my fave Oscar recap (even though I actually enjoyed the show...I think being boring is part of the big award show thing!)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yes we're getting Hot Fuzz in the States April 20th. Odd choice of top billing in the credits on the Yahoo page. Maybe they think nobody in the US knows who Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are ...
Starring: Jim Broadbent, Steve Coogan, Timothy Dalton, Paddy Considine, Edward Woodward

And in Netflix are craxys news. This cracked me up:
"L, the following movies were chosen based on your interest in: Marie Antoinette Wet Hot American Summer Red Dwarf: Series 1

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
...Marty not only won, but he got to accept with Coppola, Lucas and Spielberg standing onstage next to him.
Made all the more interesting if you've read Peter Biskind's, Easy Riders, Raging Bulls. A book about Hollywood in the 70s that is well worth reading.

I wish Pan's Labyrinth had won Best Foreign Film, but The Lives of Others looked really good and was the only one I could see it losing to.
No love for Volver? I didn't see either of these two movies, but I did see Volver and I loved it. Not as much as some other Almodovar films, but still a great movie. And Penelope Cruz really surprised me with the actual acting and looking hott.
