You're not wrong, Gloomcookie. I thought it was great until Rod Hull's Emu turned up near the end. [link]

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Well, she was saying from the beginning that she didn't like Hermione, so it actually doesn't surprise me that much.
And that is all I will say right now about the whole movie-Hermione issue.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yay, another list!
PopMatters' list of the 50 DVDs every movie fan must own. (Formatted slightly oddly -- the link is to the introductory essay, and then the actual list of 50, divided into 5 categories of 10 films each, is in sidebars on the right.) I've only seen 23, mostly because my intake of foreign films and '70s films has been truly abysmal.
Makes me all warm'n'fuzzy that The Big Lebowski makes the list, though.

I just watched that one Saturday, JZ. Love it. But I like finding it on TV for some reason. Or maybe I'm afraid I'll stop watching new things if I have one, in favor of it.

It's like a little surprise present from the TV to you. TBL, Raising Arizona, Groundhog Day -- I will never, ever see those pop up and not stop and watch, even if it's down to the last 10 minutes.

Because books.

Weirdest thing -- that movie for me is Coal Miner's Daughter. I am strangely compelled to watch it *every time*.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That is an intriguing list. It's refreshing to move on from the 100 most famous movies ever made. I don't buy the premise, at all-- it certainly doesn't persuade me to buy a single DVD-- but the 1970s list is partic ridic. Show me someone who has all those movies in a collection that is, according to the list, practically obligatory.

I love '70s movies, but I barely recognized their list. And "Nashville"? whatever. Especially in terms of buying it and bringing it home...I liked The Long Goodbye better, anyway, if one must have '70s Altman. And how intellectual do I feel right now, posting that? Very. Almost enough to debate with Corwood and have him kick my ass, that's how smart I am today.

You're always smart enough to whomp my butt, Erika.
I thought the list was somewhat right and a whole lotta silly crap, myself.

I should amend that: maybe 1/2 and 1/2.
