Tony Leung Chiu-Wai in The Eagle Shooting Heroes. I'm finally getting this one on DVD.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

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.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Atonement: Surprisingly, good. It's a very complicated idea translated from a novel in a novel, but the direction and script are both very tight. Keira can't act very well, but the rest of the cast are great. For oner masturbation pals, there's a 7 minute shot involving a vast area and the largest amount of extras I've ever seen on a motion picture.
Sparkle: not great, not rubbish British romcom starring Tony Head and Bob Hoskins. Although in a romcom sense it fails on nearly ever level, and from an entertainment responsibility level it flops all. Tony Head is great, and gets his drag on.
Run Fatboy Run: you can tell it was originally set in New York and spent 4 years in development hell. You can tell Simon Pegg rewrote it for the UK. You can tell watching it. But there's still a lot of fun to be had. Just don't expect Pegg doing his usual written-from-scratch-concept all over again.
Eagle Vs Shark: Totally nerdy. Great.

I saw Shoot 'Em Up this afternoon. Well, you can't fault them for false advertising with that title. I suppose it was enjoyable in a way, though I've seen gun battles more firmly based in reality in the Underworld movies.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I just got back from seeing Stardust. I'm very glad I saw it before reading the reviews in this thread! I really enjoyed it a lot. I was never sure what was going to happen and I loved the look of it. I loved the gay pirate captain and his crew and the greek chorus of dead brothers and the way Evaine would glow when she was happy. I never read the book and won't, as far as I'm concerned it was great to see, and I'm glad I saw it in a theatre.
There were trailers for The Golden Compass and Elizabeth, the Golden Age and they both look good to me.

what makes it even more jelly-kneed was reading Cate Blanchett's comment on her reaction to seeing him in Gosford Park (linked here?). Oh yeah, she's a fangrrrl.
And I've never been so eager to see Sir Walter Raleigh.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I want to see that movie, if only for the costume porn. At least this time I won't have to deal with a SCAdian/history buff grumbling about it all weekend.(The guy I dated before G)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hopefully this Iron Man trailer works better for you than for me. I've tried two OSes and nothing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeeeeah, it was working fine, and then it just freezes right at the key moment.
It was very nice before that, though.
