Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Okay, so there was a film out last year that was a foreign sci-fi room, I think Korean, about a man who was writing a science fiction novel, but the characters are part of the story, or something. It was called Room or Floor or something, from the hotel he was staying at. Ring any bells? My googlefu is broken for this.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You're not talking about the sequel to "In the Mood for Love", are you?

2046. Not Korean though, but yes, I think that's what she's talking about.

Man, *thank you*. That's been driving me crazy for three days.

Yes! It is available at the library. And apparently Chinese.

It's also listed on IMDB as produced in 2004, so I was having a very "neither holy nor Roman nor an empire" moment.

And apparently Chinese.

It's a Wong Kar Wei movie - aren't you familiar with his work? Hong Kong.

Bruce Campbell would be a weird take on Beorn, if Sam Raimi (pleasegodno) made The Hobbit.

He's not quite right for Bard the Bowman. If it has to be a really tiny, almost cameo part, maybe the Goblin King?

"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

He is used to working in prosthetics.

Though the thought of a Xenafied The Hobbit after being spoiled by Peter Jackson's movies makes me want to weep.

Actually, BC looks like Elrond in the Rankin-Bass version.

Bruce Campbell as Elrond...hee!
