Paris je t'aime and Once
Oh, so jealous! Once was so wonderful, and I've been wanting to see Paris Je T'aime for almost a year now.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Saw The Prestige last night, after having seen The Illusionist a month ago or so. Am remarkably meh on both of them, but much more so on The Prestige. Am now convinced that all magicians are absolutely amoral jackholes and need to be shot.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
But--but--Anthony Blake!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I also just saw The Prestige on Wednesday after seeing Illusionist a month ago or so. I guess I liked both about the same amount-- beautifully shot, engaging plotting, some nice lead roles-- but The Prestige never seemed to heighten the game. The stakes seemed exactly the same throughout the movie, so it all felt a little flat. I liked the way the plot worked out in Prestige though. It was satisfying even though we worked it out at some point midway through.

We saw The Prestige and The Illusionist with roughly the same interval between as you, Juliana. I thought The Illusionist was pretty bad, but compared to The Prestige, it was goddamn brilliant.
xpost - seems like a month is about the norm.

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
Sail and I saw The Illusionist (or was it The Prestige??) a month or so ago and were both very meh.
Though we did spend the next hour or so, each on our laptops, researching the Austro-Hungarian empire and WWI and stuff and calling the interesting bits back and forth. Muy Buffista.
(And FTR, Franz-Ferdinand's life - and death - would make a much more interesting movie than either of the above.)

I saw them in theatres pretty close together and preferred The Prestige, mainly for the cast. I spent the majority of both mentally willing the movie to GET ON WITH IT ALREADY AND STOP ACTING LIKE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE WE FIGURED IT OUT AN HOUR AGO, GODDAMNIT.

Always Anti-fascist!
The title made it seem so tacky, Corwood. But "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" was sweet, deep down, so I don't know why I am surprised.

Lotta word, Jessica.

This one's even sweeter, I think.

Okay. Watched Pan's Labyrinth last night, which was incredible.
Then watched Children of Men this morning, and was blown. A. Way.
I've watched the behind the scenes stuff, so now I know, but we were sitting there for the car sequence wondering aloud: HOW THE F@$% DID THEY GET THAT SHOT?????
Wow.
