I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just recently heard a thing about oranges in The Godfather though. I really do need to watch that.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Damn. Adrienne Shelley's movie got a serious rave in the Chron.

Isn't NF in that one? I thought I saw the previews for it when we saw The Namesake last week.

I want to see that movie, it sounds really excellent. The first of the Sundance theatres [link] will be showing it starting today. I may have to go check it out.

Glad to hear it. Sorry she can't be here for it. Of course, she'll always be the cutest little masochist in the leather store to me.

He is.

First two Hal Hartley movies, Trust and The Unbelievable Truth for me.

Art Crawl!!!

Did I mention that I saw the Waitress promo on HGTV the other night?

It was excellent to see it on tv.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Reading the reviews of WAITRESS keeps making me tear up because I can't help but wonder what the hell went down to cause what happened to AS, and I get to a certain point and just can't understand. What a fucking waste.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I've read are the allusions to the director's previous film Intacto. Has anyone seen it?

I have, and loved it. Very weird and moody piece, and it built slowly. The only thing wrong with it was that Max Von Sydow was underused.
