We're talking dog whistle range.
As someone who once had his radio blasting loudly when that damn "Emotions" song of hers came on, I can believe her vocal range includes the ultrasonic.

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!
They seem too long to be human (especially to be female), but they also seem too realistic to have been faked in any way.
I always thought it was the paint, myself.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Man hands.
I loathe and abominate every script Luc Besson has ever written, doubly so any he's directed himself (I think that's all of them), and wish he'd just be something visual like art director or DP so that someone else can restrain him from his inevitable excess and stupidity.
Also, opera and techno were never, ever meant to meet. And if opera and techno did meet, I'd like to think they would do better than Mozart Smurf.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Now that I'm home, I can listen to the clip from "The Fifth Element." I notice some people got in a slapfight in the YouTube comments about whether the singer's voice is digitally enhanced. Someone claims that:
As the character Plavalaguna is humanoid alien, her vocalizations seem beyond physical possibility; however, in a documentary feature on the Special Edition DVD release, it is stated that Mula-Tchako's voice was not digitally altered.
I still say it's bullshit. Especially around :58 and 1:04.

That's complete bull.
Unless, as I suspect, the entire techno section isn't a human voice at all.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I'm all, what the fuck did they do that to Lucia di Lammermoore for? I guess it's thematic, what with the bloodshed and mayhem, but still. Mixing it with techno (which I abhor)! Yeeek.

Well, I hate The Fifth Element and I would never say Besson's great at dialogue, but I think he's got cool plot ideas: Subway, Nikita, and The Transporter come to mind.
In any case, he's certainly written much more than he's directed: The Transporter, Kiss of the Dragon, Banlieue 13, Taxi and its numerous sequels/remakes. Of course, Angel-A was just such a sad attempt to remake It's a Wonderful Life that I think I've given up on him.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Generally speaking, even if I liked Natalie Portman, I would find it icky and creepy to like her that way when she is pre-pubertal.
It is a thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I adore The Professional and Nikita, and was pleasantly surprised by and caught up in Banlieue 13.
I will love him forever for the first two, even if I don't love all his later work. And then...dude the reason I saw War was because of the Statham love generated by The Transporter.
Which, I guess, makes me mad. Pfft.
