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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Well, Geoffrey's very not Ben, as well, although less heavy with the swearing, I believe. I'd agree with the notion that he's more himself and less Not!Frasier

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Another movie I would recommend with both Paul Gross and Callum Keith Rennie (and Sandra Oh, and other Canadians) is Wilby Wonderful.

Oh, yes, that one's lovely. I might not have watched it if not for the cast, but I think I'd have liked it if I had (which is, what, triple subjunctive?)

You'd have liked it even if you hadn't liked it.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

It actually amuses me that PG was yet again talking to dead people. I found Geoffrey in the first two seasons to be a great role all on it's own, without feeling like it was an anti-Frasier statement (and I'm not saying that his role in Men with Brooms was, just that's what it felt like when watching it).

Will definitely check out Wilby Wonderful. I so want to see Snow Cake, but I don't see it coming my way anytime soon.

I also wanted to ask, after having been left feeling Nothing, Nothing at all, after seeing PotC2, whether I should check out the third installment, because my completist urge isn't there, but if it is actually a fun frolic (unlike 2), I'd like to know.

hip deep in pie

Snow Cake was really good, and it's out on DVD now.

Will definitely check out Wilby Wonderful.

My sister edited her HS yearbook with Danny McIvor, the guy who wrote and directed this. (He's done a lot of stuff with CKR, McKellar and Molly Parker. They're some kind of Canadian film mafia, all appearing in each other's stuff.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Huh. I never did see PotC3. I just ... forgot about it. How sad.

forgot about it like Star Wars 3, but without the urge to pirate it and watch it MST3-style when I did remember it. Which I never did cuz I just wasn't that interested in even watching it drunk.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

PotC3 was miles better than 2. Personally, I think it was added Barbosa. Geoffrey Rush was enjoying himself so much he practically put Depp in the shade. Offhand, I don't recall any waterwheel or hamster ball nonsense, either.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Just finished the gorgeous Criterion reprint of La Jetee, and seriously, when are you going to spend a better 26 minutes of your life?
