Another great long take (albeit one that doesn't impress with camerawork, but with the actor's rhythms):
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

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.

At least it has some of my favorites, although they got the wrong one from Weekend. The right one (the greatest traffic jam in cinema) doesn't appear to be on YouTube in its original format.
Totally agree with this. So much of WEEKEND doesn't work (the agitprop especially) but the stuff that does is mad genius and more than makes up for the lecturing.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
This is 3½ years old, but it's the best RoTK review ever!
Hee! I knew which review that was before I even clicked on it.
This movie starts with the origin of Golem – that creepy guy who looks like Iggy Pop and wears Tarzan pants and wants the invisible-ring. He’s still on a quest with the two hobbits - Rudy from the film RUDY and Fredo - to throw the ring into a volcano (this is like a serious version of JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO). The ring is also evil but you keep thinking, while you watch it, that someone should put it on and check out some boobs. I have a feeling those scenes will be in the DVDs.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
The most interesting thing about the (quite positive) reviews of 28 Weeks Later... I've read are the allusions to the director's previous film Intacto. Has anyone seen it?

Those Top 5 lists re-confirm that I'm actually a guy. Except for the fact that I've never seen The Godfather .
I just recently heard a thing about oranges in The Godfather though. I really do need to watch that.

Dude. See it. See both of them. (There was no third movie, despite what you may have heard. Lalalalala.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The lack of Princess Bride on both those lists--a symptom of what's wrong with movies and the world, or a cause?

Brando improv-ed that scene too.

Love the Godfather. Actually, I did not find Godfather 3 awful, but compared to what came before, of course it was.
