Also, just noticed that Dana spelled it right.And I just looked back and noticed this too. I can handle German words. But I never know how to spell (or pronounce) French words or phrases.

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Could doppelganger be the German word that was originally being invoked?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nah, I got it -- it was unheimlich.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Is that where you grab someone around the ribs and deliberately choke them?

Exactly!
No, silly, it's uncanny. But freaky, due to the German.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Movies I have seen this week:
Once -- SO good. I hate to use the words "charming," "witty," and "Irish" in the same sentence because they don't really give a good impression of what this movie's about, even if they're all true. Instead, I will just say that the Fox Searchlight logo at the top of the film probably cost about 5 times as much as the movie itself did to produce. It's an ultra-low budget singer-songwriter musical romance. (The link to the website, btw, WILL play music at you when it's done loading, so turn your speakers off before you click at work. And then go back and listen at home, because the music's really really good.)
Day Watch. Sequel to Night Watch. Sadly disappointing -- it obviously had a bigger budget than the first installment, but I didn't think they used it as well. The original had a fantastic filmmaking-by-the-seat-of-our-pants feel to it, and this one felt far more pedestrian and Hollywood-ish. I didn't like the way they sexed everything up, and I didn't like how slick it felt compared to the first one. DH disagrees with me and liked it more than I did, though, so it's possible I'm just being curmudgeonly.

That's just crazy talk, of course.

I finally got around to watching my Netflix disc of An Inconvenient Truth that I've had for just about forever and sent it back on Wednesday. I just got e-mail that my next disc should be arriving tomorrow--it's Macbeth from the late 1960s, with Ian McKellen and Judi Dench as the bloody couple. I am sooo looking forward to seeing this!

Dear Sam Raimi,
Even Batman abandoned the Batusi back in the 1960s. Seriously. What were you *thinking*???
Also, Warner Brothers called -- they're re-touching some old cartoons, and they need their anvils back.
Thank god for James Franco.

So Very Very VERY Underwhelmed

move out and draw fire
When I become a famous director, I want to make a Nancy Drew movie set in the era of the first books. I want it to have a very Hitchcock look and feel, something like Vertigo.
Also I want to cast Clare Bloom as George.
And I need a word that's the opposite of schadenfreude. Something about the way some people get hateful when other people are happy, when they try to make everyone as miserable as they themselves are.
But that's not for Nancy Drew or Clare Bloom.
Oh! Topic! Jess's comment about being the only ones laughing at a certain line in Hot Fuzz hit home - DH and I are often the only ones laughing at parts in movies, and one of my friends is always IMing me to tell me that he just went to see something and was the only person to laugh (examples include the scene in Cars where McQueen is onstage, and there's a long silence, and someone in the back yells "Freebird!").
