Emily reminds me of Jordan.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I was so disappointed when I saw the Jordan actress in something else--she was boring! I wanted her to grab a sander or something. I love Real Genius.
We still use, "Yes! How does it feel to be Frozen!" when something good happens, and "Well then, I'm happy and sad for you," when ambivilence is called for.

We do the "Take a step back. Now take a step forward." and "Are you there Jesus? He hung up." a lot. Another favorite it, "I was hot and I was hungry!"
My favorite is when we're out somewhere and for no reason whatsoever, one of us will point and shout, "THAT'S THE HALL!!"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sigh. Kilmer is so amazingly perfect in that film.

Lovelovelove Real Genius!

"Can you drive a spike through a 2x4 with your dick?"
"Um, no."
"Sorry, then--a girl's gotta have her standards."

We've said "It's a moral imperative" so many times over so many issues, trivial and important and in between, I had literally forgotten it was a quote. Seeing the movie last year and hearing the line just was a little weird. Almost like, "They're quoting us!"

I've said some mean things about Bogdanovitch over the years, but Robin's story makes me regret every one of them.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Just watched some of the CHILDREN OF MEN extras on the DVD, and apart from showing how the mind-boggling car sequence was done (and how the actors managed to do what they did, both outside and inside the car, still astonishes me), they also showed how elaborate the effects were for a sequence that never pinged me as difficult...until they showed how difficult it was - namely the sequence where the baby is born. I was so into the movie at that point that I didn't even stop to think how they achieved that moment. That's some good moviemaking there, I tell you what.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Saw Shooter last night. It was pretty much what we went for--gunmanship and action. A lot of explosions considering the gunheavy premise, but what can you do? I managed to spot at least one gun error, my companion more (but that's kinda his job), but it was decent fun.
Some medical "whuzzat?" happening there, but Wahlberg is nice and sulky and Michael Pena does a good job with his role too. Danny Glover does a good creepy. The women aren't...well, they aren't too developed. They support the action. That's their gig.

move out and draw fire
I'm pretty sure I chose my college solely because Real Genius was filmed there.
Finally watched Casino Royale. That was both a good and bad movie.
