I agree with your whitefont, though. They totally wasted Norrington.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm watching Phantom on Hallmark.
This is, indeed, as bad as I thought. The singing, oh God... t shudders
Also, the costumer seems to have a corset fetish, and the director watched Moulin Rouge too many times.
And no one ever explained to anyone why we hold our hands at the level of our eyes.

OK, one of these things I can see as a negative, but the other makes me wonder which place this person thinks they are posting.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
There is a time and a place. And, really, enough space for plenty of corsetry in the movie without it pinging me as corset porn.
I think the scene of Christine being laced into one was what pushed it over the edge for me.

I dunno. Isn't "gratuitous corsetry" pretty much a Buffista oxymoron? I'll leave it to the board to decide.

I vote oxymoron.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I vote: the more corsets the better. We went to Pirates Dinner Adventure yesterday and when the princess came out the first thing I said was, "they could have laced her up tighter."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw 1408 lat night. I am not a real horror movie goer, so I don't know how it stacks up, but it scared the bejesus outta me. They used the mundane artifacts of hotel rooms sand the hotel experience to great effect. Cusack was practically a one-man show, and did a terrific job.
I thought the last half hour was pretty predictably twist-and-turny, so the film lost intensity for me.
I LOVED when the "you are here" sigh got blacked out, so only the room existed.

I didn't think it was nearly as bad as I expected going in, but the skydiving ghosts and zombie in the vents and exploding/flooding/snowing room were a bit much. The best parts were when Enslin was losing his grip due to the little tricks of perception and growing more and more incoherent. They SO should have had Cusack say "My brother was eaten by wolves on the New Jersey Turnpike" as a non-sequitur to show his degenerating mental condition rather than just have it as a text passage in the room's records .

Saw Paris, je t'aime yesterday. I was disappointed overall. The pieces just didn't hang together for me. Nor did they convey the sense of place I expected given the title. A few definitely did and were beautiful (the one with the woman from Maria Full of Grace, the one with the Muslim girl, the Gena Rowlands one), but I don't know that they made up for the ones I absolutely hated.
