What don't you like about Se7en, Jessica?
I have a general dislike for movies I perceive to be less clever than their creators seem to think they are. And Se7en has an air of thinking that it is very clever indeed.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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.

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

Jessica! Awesome timing! Because I suddenly have questions for you! Which require exclamation points! Is your profile address good? (!)
And yeah, I am a bit intrigued by Zodiac, because I got the impression he might have grown out of the "look, whizzy toys" stage.

Because books.

I can see that. I still love the *look* of the movie, and I'm always a sucker for Morgan Freeman.

I cannot stop watching the Sunshine trailer. I want it to open here tomorrow, dammit!
And man, that tag line in the trailer is one of the all-time greats, I think.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Which? You mean the very last line?

Yep.

It just hits me where I live or something.

It's very pretty, but as far as I can tell it's a movie about people being sucked out of very beautifully designed airlocks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dammit. Just got to the end of my recording of Home At The End Of The World, and it's cut off! I'm assuming the blond guy dies of AIDS (it's either a fatal STD or car accident in this sort of movie)...but I got as far as a flashback to them talking in the cemetery. Robin Wright Penn has left with the baby, and they're spreading his father's ashes.
Anything happen after that?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Nope. That's the end.
