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.
Matt, finished LttE yet?
I forget, does the DVD contain the original ending?
Never mind, I am an idiot.
I forget, does the DVD contain the original ending?
It only has the one, so I assume not. Jack realizes Audrey is suicidal, climbs the ledge to get to her apartment and stop her, and is either shot by her gun when he startles her or is impaled on broken glass when he falls through the window...that final scene is shot really unclearly .
It's Buffista Movies callback time! (a.k.a., I just got around to Banlieue 13, which is so totally last week.)
Lame plot, dumb plot, stupid plot, did I mention idiotic plot? And yet? I found my next yuletide pairing. PLUS, best ever movie to watch in Blu-ray. Because the others we've tried were things where I actually wanted to follow the story and kept getting distracted by the shiny blinky visuals. This? All shiny blinky visuals. And topless fighty men.
What?
Huh. So the Blu-ray version had a plot? Weird...
It was very small. It must've been in the extra pixels only.
And yet? I found my next yuletide pairing.
Yay! It's totally true. The little bit of heterosexuality they tried to throw in at the end did not fit.
If anyone ever has the slight urge to watch Flyboys, don't.
A movie about the Lafayette Escadrille could have been good. The fact that they titled the movie "Flyboys" and not "The Lafayette Escadrille" was in fact my first clue that this movie would suck. The horrible reviews it got were the second clue...but you know what? The reviews were generous.
We watched about half of it on 6x fast forward, and it was still boring and amateurish. Only the homoeroticism between James Franco and That Other Guy provided any entertainment.
