I have no idea what she saw in him.
(sure to be a crosspost with Hec) Teh Sex. Arrogant and drinky, sure, but also apparently a great lay, and she credited him with showing her how much fun sex could be.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The Black Stallion is a movie that's really grown on me over the years. When it first came out, I loved the cinematography, but thought the story really lacked (I was a big fan of the book, and hated the fact that they made Alec some seven years younger than he was in the book). Now, I love the interaction between Kelly Reno and Mickey Rooney, as well as the wonderful performance by Teri Garr. Reno was really a good actor--too bad he only did the two Stallion films.
ETA: Seriously?!? He was that good in the sack?

That version of A Midsummer Night's Dream has one of my all-time favorite movie moments: Olivia de Havilland's Hermia going ballistic on Helena with the painted maypole speech and everyone else showing increasing fear as she got angrier and angrier.
Notice how no one was actually afraid of Anna Friel during her version of the tirade, even though a petulant toddler with a nerf bat could could snap Callista Flockhart in half?

Totally late to the party (and what a shame because I wish I'd seen it on the big screen), but I watched Pan's Labyrinth Friday night and just loved loved loved it. GF liked it a lot, but didn't love it, which was also interesting. What a gorgeous and terrible film. The girl who played Ofelia was incredible. I want to watch it again. I have questions about the second task, but I can't remember what they are. Will be back when I remember.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I too loved the hell out of Pan's Labyrinth. I'm OK with having the ambiguity in my head and as such I haven't made a concious decision about what "really happened." When I watched the Oscars I was pretty upset Pan didn't win Best Foreign Language Film. That is until I saw The Lives of Others (Das Lieben De Anderen iispellc.) Very much worth renting, or if you're very lucky, catching in a local theatre. It's one of those rare films that actually manages to cover new ground while giving you a history lesson.

I saw 28 Weeks Later which really did strike me as the Aliens to the first's Alien in several ways.

I've heard that the real bad guy in 28 Weeks Later is The US goverment. Does that strike you as an accurate assessment? If so I wonder if it's not that different from the first. I recall feeling that the soliders were much scarier than the zombies in 28 Days. But then I'm not sure I've ever seen Aliens. Is that the one that starts out in prison?

Aliens is the recon mission to the original planet, with Ripley along for the ride -- it's the second film in the "series", and arguably the one that earned James Cameron his fame.
