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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. That say it 3x in a mirror thing works!

In looking up info on Jean-Pierre Jeunet in IMDB, I've learned that he declined an offer to direct the last Harry Potter (OotP), which I would have loved to have seen, and he's in pre-production on Life of Pi, which worries me just a tad.

whoa. okay.
I loved Greenaway when I was a film student (of course) but I haven't rewatched anything in years.

I noticed he's in the de-rigeur "You stuck the big man with the cute kid???" movie coming out soon, as well as having a role in the new Get Smart opposite Steve Carell. Only one of those projects looks like it has any promise.

I don't know that Vin Diesel and Hulk Hogan are the best models to pattern one's movie career after.

Oh wow, I so wanna see Eastern Promises RIGHT NOW (but of course since it's David Cronenberg, I'll have to cover my eyes for 50% of the movie).
And hey! the Guvanator did Kindergarten Cop. And Twins. And I actually enjoyed The Pacifier for all it's cute dumb for-the-kidsness. *hugs Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel* *but not Arnie or Terry*

But if you cover your eyes, you'll be missing Viggo stripped to his skivvies covered in prison tats!

Well, in the trailer he does. If he strips down further in the film, I'll be there on opening day!! (I love him in A Walk on the Moon--when he and Diane Lane are having their tryst in the river, he's so frickin' HAWT!)
